McKnight Village is proud to host the 2025 Run for the Rec, a 5k race through our neighborhood to support the upkeep and revitalization of our community-owned park! This year will be a color run so get ready to layer your shirt with a rainbow of colors as you make your way through the course. Stick around after the race for raffles, refreshments, live music and games for the kids!
There will be color powder sprayed at set points on the race course. The color powder is made with 100% food-grade cornstarch, baking soda, and FD&C approved food and cosmetic dyes. The color powder is safe, non-toxic and environmentally-friendly. The color powder easily washes out of most fabrics, skin and hair using only soap and water, but we still recommend leaving those fancy shoes and clothes at home.

Free parking available in the rec. Arrive between 8 - 8:30am on race day and follow parking volunteers' instructions for parking.
Friday 5/30 (5-7pm) or Saturday 5/31 (10am-noon). If you are not able to pick your bib, shirt, and bag before race day, you can also pick it up the morning of the event. However, we strongly encourage you to pick-up on Friday or Saturday.
