About the Color The Way: HIM's 5K Color Run

This is a color run on asphalt and concrete streets through Henderson. The course is open to traffic, so runners share the road with vehicles in places; police and volunteers are posted at key spots to help direct both runners and drivers. Color stations are spread along the route, and a phone app lets spectators follow along with live tracking.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at First Methodist Church in Henderson, with race-morning pickup available at Fair Park before the start. Having your QR code ready at check-in speeds things along, and you can grab someone else's packet if you have their code on hand.

Common Questions About the Color The Way: HIM's 5K Color Run

Will I finish last at the Color The Way: HIM's 5K Color Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 46:01, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:10, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Color The Way: HIM's 5K Color Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (146 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Color The Way: HIM's 5K Color Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 20:20 while the median finisher took 46:01. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
