The Fall Color 5K

About the Event

Spend a magical fall morning running or walking through a scenic course with trees just at the cusp of their full autumnal color change. You’ll experience a unique course with rolling terrain along the Arboretum’s East Side, perfect for participants of all levels to help kick off the Fall Color Festival. A virtual 5K option is also available. 

Once you’ve conquered the course, stay for a postrace party with live music, food, and a complimentary beer! 

Your ticket purchase helps support the Arboretum’s mission to plant and protect trees for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world.

Line up with everyone at 8:00 a.m. for a shotgun start. Cross by 8:15am if you'd like to go your own pace.

Note: Medals will only be awarded to those who compete in the 8:00 a.m. shot gun start. 

Arboretum Members save $10 per registration. The discount will be applied during the registration process after entering your Member number.
