About the 2026 Tiger Trot Color Run 5K
The course starts near the downtown library and runs through Scottsville. There is also a shorter kids color run that goes off first. At the finish, runners can choose to pass through a color celebration or skip it entirely and cross clean, which is a nice touch if you would rather stay powder-free.
The race benefits the local elementary school PTO. Proceeds go toward field trips, classroom supplies, and a community garden the school runs. It draws a mix of families with young kids and people there just to run the 5K, so the start area tends to feel busy and neighborly early in the morning.
