Surviving the Color

Surviving the Color is a vibrant 5K run/walk held annually in Terre Haute, Indiana, with the next event on May 16, 2026. Participants are encouraged to wear white and enjoy being covered in color at eight different color stations along the course, which includes two laps around Deming Park. The event fosters a fun, non-competitive atmosphere and supports Team of Mercy, an organization aiding those affected by suicide.

Runners receive a custom bib with their name, a t-shirt (if registered early), and enjoy post-race food, refreshments, and a DJ concert. Memorial banners honoring local suicide victims are displayed along the route, adding a meaningful tribute to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
