6 running, walking, and fun run events in Green, Ohio

The Bulldog Color Run at Green Middle School is a high‑energy, family‑friendly celebration of school spirit, fitness, and fun. Students, families, staff, and community members come together for a vibrant run (or walk!) through a course filled with bursts of bright, eco‑friendly color powder. Whether participants sprint, jog, or stroll, everyone crosses the finish line covered in color and full of Bulldog pride. This event isn’t about speed—it’s about community, movement, and memorable moments. Along the route, volunteers cheer runners on while color stations add excitement at every turn.

The Bulldog Color Run supports Green Middle School PTSA programs and encourages students to stay active while having a blast with friends and family.

Every participant will receive a shirt, medal, bag, sunglasses, bandana and individual color packet to start off the race with a burst of color!

Stop by after your run to check out our vendor tables and food trucks!

The Raider Run is a fundraising event that supports the Junior ROTC program at Green High School in Green, Ohio and is a fun family event for ALL!

The Raider Run consists of the following:

• 3K Terrain Run through Southgate Park with 12 obstacles that will test your strength and stamina....and when you make it to the end, you will be sliding down the GIANT 150 foot slip-n-slide! Two things are guaranteed: you will get messy, and you will HAVE FUN!

All ages are welcome, and accommodations will be available for anyone unable to complete an obstacle. Race participants will be sent onto the course every 15 minutes, and you may select your start time during registration.

• 1 mile Veterans Honor Walk -- If a leisurely stroll is more your style, sign up to participate in the 1 mile Veterans Honor Walk at 11am. This walk is dedicated to the men and women that have served our great country, and a portion of all proceeds will go directly to supporting local veteran organizations including SAM Center (Serving Area Veterans) and The Veterans Advisory Commission of Green.

And of course, you can always sign up to participate in both! If you select this option, you may select any available start time for the obstacle race, and will then walk the Honor Walk at 11am.

We hope you plan to join us for a fun day of music, games, exercise, and kicking off the start of summer for a great cause! We look forward to seeing you there!
