Join us for the 6th annual Color Me Mutt 5K Color Run, 1-Mile Fun Run or Pet Parade on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Although this is a dog-friendly race, you don't need to be a pet owner to have a blast! However, The Color Run is a non-competitive and untimed 5k filled with color that you can experience with friends and family. You're free to run, jog, walk, or cartwheel along the course! Whether you are up for a Color Run, Mud Run, Warrior Challenge, 5k, 100 miler, or just a stroll through the park, there are thousands of dog-friendly events across the country for you and Fido to enjoy! During a Color Run, color powder gets sprayed on participants throughout the run, usually at each kilometer marker or spaced out evenly through the course.
Participants wear all-white clothing that turns radiant shades of blue, pink, yellow, and other eye-catching colors, and sunglasses to protect their eyes from the powder. Are color runs safe? "USDA approved really means it's safe for ingestion or application to the skin. It has nothing to say that inhaling this powder is safe," Paynter said.
As runners inhale the fine particles that make up the colorful clouds that characterize color runs, the dust settles into airways, eventually sitting deep in the lungs. Get ready for a colorful celebration at the 10th Annual Color Me Mutt 5K & 1 Mile Color Walk/Run! This vibrant event will take place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at NASCAR SpeedPark Smoky Mountains in Sevierville, Tennessee. Join fellow dog lovers and fitness enthusiasts for a day filled with fun, friendship, and furry friends as you navigate through exciting color stations, enjoy hydration.
