Burst of Color Run

Burst of Color Run is a 5K held in Goldsboro, North Carolina, on April 24, 2027, starting at 9:00 AM. The single format is listed as a timed 5K, so you get an official finish time over the 3.1 miles rather than simply covering the distance. No elevation gain is published for the course.

Because the clock is running, this works either as a relaxed morning out or as a genuine benchmark, depending on how you approach the start line. Runners chasing a time should warm up thoroughly and settle into a hard but even pace from the first half mile, since a 5K punishes an over-eager opening more than any other common distance. If you are building toward it, six weeks of running three or four times a week, with one weekly session of short repeats, will have you ready to race rather than just finish.
