1 Miles 5k Run Virtual Walk

Join in the fun of this community tradition for the 10th Annual Mutt Strut on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC!

Engage with animal enthusiasts, participate in or watch hilarious dog contests, check out our vendors, purchase food from local food trucks, and set out on the 5K or 1-mile Run/Walk. You can choose a 5K or a 1-mile walk or run, in person or virtual. Help us make this the biggest dog walk in Triad all while helping the Forsyth Humane Society in its mission to advocate for the responsible care and welfare of animals in Forsyth County.

Together, we can support shelter pets and create a caring community.

    Are you ready to get colorful for a great cause? The PACU Foundation’s Flying Colors Charity 5K and Fun Run is a dynamic, community-focused event that centers around a timed 5K (8 a.m. start) in which participants are doused with safe, food-based color powder at various points throughout the course. There will be a second, untimed fun run/walk (8:15 a.m.) start for those looking for a more casual, but equally fun, option that will also feature color powder.

    Participants will receive an event t-shirt that will appear tie-dyed and rainbow-tastic by the end of either option selected (timed 5k or untimed fun run/walk)!* Packets for participants registered by 6/1/26 will be available for pickup at Piedmont Advantage Credit Union in the lobby (Winston Salem location - 3530 Advantage Way, Winston-Salem, NC 27103) on TBD from 11 am - 5:30 pm. Individuals registered after 6/1/26 and those not able to pickup packets on TBD may collect them on the day of the run at the registration table between 7 am - 7:40 am (the 5k will begin promptly at 8 am.)

    *T-shirts subject to availability for registrations placed after 5/15/2026.

    There will also be games, face art, a bubble station, access to local food trucks to purchase delicious treats, and so much more! The PACU Foundation advances charitable giving to support access to financial literacy, education and training, and disaster and emergency assistance for residents overcoming financial hardship throughout the Triad and Charlotte communities.

    Welcome to the 23rd Annual Kids for Kids Triathlon!

    Our mission is to introduce kids to the sport of Triathlon and in safe and fun environment.

    Many thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers without whom this race would not be possible.

    Over $120,000 given to local Kid's Charities in 20 years!

    Race Information

    7-10 Years Old

    Swim: 100 meters

    Bike: 3.1 miles

    Run: 0.6 miles

    11-15 Years Old

    Swim: 200 meter

    Bike: 6.2 miles

    Run: 1.2 miles

    This event is a part of the NC Junior Triathlon Series. This means that all participants will be aged-up by USAT rules - their age by 12/31/26. This keeps all kids in the same age group through the series. If your child is 10 and will turn 11 by 12/31, then they will be in the 11-15 age group. You are welcome to "age down" and keep your child in the younger age group if that distance is more comfortable, just be aware that they will not be eligible for awards if they age down. The only kids are allowed to age down are kids who will be the age of the group on race day. For example, if your USAT age puts you in the 11-15 category, but your age on race day is 10, then you can age down. If your age on race day matches the USAT age, then you cannot age down. If you choose to age down, email [email protected] so she can make this change for you.
