St. Johns County Parks & Rec Family Color Run 5K

St. Johns County Parks & Rec Family Color Run 5K is held in Elkton, Florida, on November 14, 2026. A single 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 9:00 a.m., and the family color run format is built around taking part rather than around times, so running, walking and stopping along the way all fit the spirit of the morning.

Color runs are messy by design, so wear clothes you do not mind staining. There is no training requirement beyond being able to cover 3.1 miles on foot, which most people manage at a walk in under an hour; if you would rather run the whole thing, a month of three short runs a week is plenty. Children usually do better with a plan to walk the second half.
