Team Melissa & Marty 5K
The Team Melissa & Marty 5K is an untimed, non-competitive running event held in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The primary focus of the event is to promote health and community involvement while raising awareness for domestic violence and sexual assault. The event is open to participants who wish to run, walk, skip, or dance through the course.
Participants are encouraged to begin the race wearing white clothing. The course features several designated color stations staffed by volunteers who distribute colored powder. This powder is a food-grade substance designed to be safe for participants. As runners move through the stations, they are covered in different colors, resulting in a vibrant appearance by the conclusion of the event.
The event features the following distance:
- 3.1 miles (5K Color Run)
The gathering serves as a platform for promoting unity and hope while showing support for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. It is held at 155 Batting Cage Lane. Registration remains open until shortly before the event begins, and a registration fee is required to participate in this community-focused run.
