    A 5k race with 20 or more strength, endurance, and agility stations along the way! The course includes open field, woodland and shallow water running. Course is mostly flat with strength, endurance and agility stations located throughout.

    Our Tough Oaks race has two heats, the first is the "Elite Heat" which is for participants who are looking to challenge themselves to strictly run the course and complete all of the required penalties for failed obstacles.

    EX. Complete a 200ft walking lunge without stops. Failure to complete obstacle means 20 penalty burpees before moving on to the next obstacle.

    We have adults, teenagers, and even some very athletic children compete in the Elite Heat.

    The "Open Race" is more family friendly with scaling options and is untimed. Participants are encouraged to complete obstacles or do penalties however, it is not required. If a participant feels unable or is running with children and needs to scale obstacles or penalties, they are totally allowed. Families with young children participates every year and have a blast! For parents with kids under the age of 10, we ask that they run with their kids as some of the obstacles could be dangerous for younger children without adult supervision. We do have obstacle supervisors throughout the race to help direct and explain obstacles, but not to oversee child safety.

    We stagger start (putting families with kids at the back) so no pile up or waiting around for obstacles occurs. We love to see family and friends come out to cheer the athletes on as they cross the finish line.

    3rd Annual Let’s Make Pink Just a Color 5K & 1.5-Mile Fun Run/Walk

    In Loving Memory of Brittany Kelley (Founder)

    On Sunday, October 18th, we gather to walk, run, and rally , not just for a cause, but for the woman who made this cause matter.

    Brittany Kelley, the founder of Let’s Make Pink Just a Color, passed away on September 28, 2025, after a courageous fight with stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer. She was a mother, a fighter, a community builder, and the heart behind this movement. This year's race is dedicated fully to her memory, her mission, and the impact she made on hundreds of lives.

    Her Legacy Lives On

    What began as Brittany’s vision in 2023 grew faster than anyone could have imagined.

    In year one, over 400 participants helped raise more than $38,000

    In 2024, we surpassed $50,000, all of it staying right here to support local patients

    Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to provide:

    Chemo port access shirts

    Surgical bras

    Drain bulb shower and belt holders

    And new in 2024: meals and weekend getaways to help families spend meaningful time together during treatment

    Brittany’s dream was simple but powerful:

    To make pink just a color again, not a symbol of pain or loss, but of love, hope, and healing.

    This Year, We Run for Her

    Join us as we walk and run in her honor. As we carry her message forward.

    As we remind the world that pink doesn’t define us, people do.

    Every dollar raised continues to go straight back into our local community, just like she wanted.

    Let’s make this the most meaningful race yet.

    Let’s make pink just a color, for Brittany.

    Please note: This race will not be officially timed.
