Florida Diabetes Camp 5K Color Run

The Florida Diabetes Camp 5K Color Run is Gainesville’s most colorful race of the year, designed to celebrate community, fitness, and fun while raising money for an incredible cause. Taking place on Saturday, November 2nd from 8:00–11:00 AM at Flavet Field, University of Florida, this event is packed with energy from start to finish. The race will pass through multiple color splash zones, water stops, and cheer areas, making the course as fun as it is rewarding. After the race, Flavet Field transforms into a vibrant festival space with music, sponsor tents, raffles, food trucks, a bake sale, and field games for all ages. There will also be face painting, pre-race paint stations, a photo booth, a chill cool-down zone, and activity areas with sports balls and family games to keep the fun going all morning long.

This year’s festival will feature delicious food from our featured food vendor and sponsor tables from Canes, LMNT, Celsius, and the Florida Diabetes Camp itself! Awards will be given out in the girls, guys, and family brackets, with prizes from amazing sponsors including Kendra Scott, Cane’s, Wawa, YogaPod, Dave & Buster’s, and more!

Registration is $30 all-inclusive, covering your race entry, shirt, color packet, a Dave & Buster’s Unlimited Game Play Card, Celsius and LMNT drinks, and access to all post-race activities. For those who prefer to enjoy the festivities without running, $15 festival passes are available to experience all the post-run fun, food, and community activities.

Every dollar raised goes directly to the Florida Diabetes Camp, providing life-changing opportunities for children living with Type 1 Diabetes to attend camp and build lasting friendships in a safe, empowering environment.
