Dose of Color 5k is a running race on September 25, 2026 in Huntington, WV.
From the Organizer
Come join us for a fun filled evening at the inaugural Dose of Color 5k organized by Marshall University School of Pharmacy and sponsored by Walgreens to raise money for Huntington's Ronald McDonald House (100% of proceeds from the race will go to the charity).
The course will be 3 loops at Ritter Park starting and finishing at the shelter. Each loop will have 5-6 color stations so every runner will have plenty of color-filled fun! We will have a cone splitting the path at each color station so runners interested in not having color thrown on them can stay on the right side (although we can't promise that you won't get some color along the way).
