Color Me Mutt is a fun and charitable event presented by the PARC Foundation, the charitable arm of NASCAR SpeedPark. Proceeds from the race will support Sevier Animal Care Center whose mission is to be an unwavering voice for companion animals and a loving ally to the humans who care for them, all while creating innovative solutions that prevent pet homelessness, end suffering, and support the community.
The Color Me Mutt 5K Color Run will kick off at 8:30 a.m., with participants in the 1-Mile Color Fun Run/Walk starting after all the 5K runners. And guess what? It's a pet-friendly event! You don't need to be a dog owner to participate, but if you are, feel free to bring your furry friend along! Register before October 10th to guarantee your preferred t-shirt size. All participants will receive a swag bag with your nontoxic color packet, a commemorative pet item, a finisher medal, Unlimited Ride Wristband to NASCAR SpeedPark (valid through 2/28/2025), and your race bib.

Timed 5K Age Categories:
The 5K Color Run will be a timed event with awards provided to the top overall male and female runners who finish with a dog. We will also recognize the three male and female finishers in each of these age categories:
14 & under
15-19
20-29
30-39
40-49
50-59
60+
We understand that some of our favorite four-legged friends would prefer a shorter course. If that's the case, the 1-Mile Fun Color Run/Walk is for you! Don't worry, you'll still get showered with color at different locations along the course and get the same swag bag as the 5K participants.
Because life is still unpredictable, we are giving all runners or walkers the opportunity to join the race virtually. Please choose the virtual race registration option.

Most Original
Ruff & Tuff
Best of Show will be presented to an overall winner from one of these categories.
