About this race

Join us for the 17th Annual Indy 5K & Color Us Kids Fun Run, presented by Delaware Orthopaedic Specialists.

 

Registration Prices Per Race:

$35.00 for adults *$25.00 for youth 17 and under *registration price will change on the form once the birthday is entered for the participant.

If you want to participate in both races, please only register/pay for the Indy 5K so you have a timing chip bib.

All race proceeds support the First Responders Community Partnership offering tuition discounts to children of first responders. 

As a school whose mission it is to inspire citizenship in its students, Independence is proud to support those who are inspired to serve as first responders for our community. Students who have one or both parents who are actively employed full-time as first responders in law enforcement, fire protection, in a capacity as an emergency medical technician (EMT) or in the armed forces, are eligible to receive a discount towards tuition during each year of enrollment.

Please contact Michele Harra, Director of Advancement & Enrollment Management, 302-239-0332 for more information on the First Responders Community Partnership and the admission process.

Starting at 4:45 p.m., enjoy demonstrations from First Responders in attendance, including the State of Delaware, New Castle County, University of Delaware, Newark, Wilmington, and more.

Claymont Steak Shop and DonutNV food trucks will be available starting at 4:45 p.m. Thank you for supporting them!

Participants will be sprayed with color powder during the run. Sunglasses will be provided for all participants. We recommend wearing a white or light color shirt for the race so the powder is visible. Color powders are made with completely natural ingredients that pose no risk. They are U.S. FDA approved.
