Get ready to infuse your spring with vibrant energy at the Acts Now 5K Dash of Color, taking place on May 9, 2026, in scenic Rolesville, NC. This exciting 3.1-mile run or walk kicks off from Rolesville Main Street Park Pavilion D, offering a lively and community-focused experience for all ages and fitness levels. As you dash through the course, you'll be immersed in a kaleidoscope of colors, creating unforgettable memories with friends, family, and even your "Furry Friends" in their dedicated category. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 75F and lows near 54F, with a relatively low 17% chance of precipitation, promising a pleasant day for outdoor activity.
Beyond the colorful fun, every step you take supports a vital cause. The Acts Now 5K Dash of Color is hosted by the Thorne to Rose Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to raising awareness and breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health in Black and brown communities. Your registration, which includes a finisher medal, bib, branded rally towel, and a refreshing Myrrona's Italian Ice, directly contributes to providing culturally competent care and resources for BIPOC communities.
The event encourages a festive atmosphere, offering awards for overall top male and female finishers, as well as age group categories (7-14, 15-18, 19-30, 31-50, and 51+). Whether you're aiming for a personal best, enjoying a spirited walk, or participating as a "Wellthy Walker" or a team, the Acts Now 5K Dash of Color is more than just a race—it's a celebration of health, community, and mental wellness.
