Watson Strong 5k Color Fun Run
The event is a family-friendly color run and walk held in Vidalia, Louisiana, on 11/14/2026. The course begins at the base of the levee across from the Vidalia Upper Elementary School, follows Concordia Avenue and Concordia Extension, turns around halfway down the Extension, and returns to the start/finish area. The distance is 3.1 Miles.
Several color stations are placed along the route so participants are covered in color by the finish. Two waves are planned: a runners' wave followed shortly by a walkers' wave. Strollers and wagons are permitted along the course.
An after-race festival at the amphitheater area includes music, photo opportunities, multiple vendors, and a merchandise tent. Registration includes a white T-shirt and a swag bag; swag bags contain whole-body wash cloths for participants coming from out of town. The published registration fee is $30.00.
The event is held in memory of a four-year-old child who battled a rare brain cancer. Funds raised support a foundation created by family and friends to assist other families facing similar situations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
