The 5K Colour Run is held each year by the Trent Central Student Association during Trent Orientation Week in the first week of September. This is a non-competitive fun run through Trent's beautiful campus, and it is open to all ages. Students, staff, faculty, and Peterborough community members are encouraged to participate.
On Saturday, September 7, 2019, run, jog, or walk the route that takes participants from West Bank to East Bank. Each kilometre is marked by a colour station, where participants will get covered in bright, colourful, non-toxic colour powder.
Registration for the Colour Run costs $25 and includes a race day t-shirt and the chance to win some great prizes from local businesses. Register online by clicking here to view our Eventbrite page.
Check-in and t-shirt pick-up on race day will begin at 11:00am on upper Bata Podium, followed by a warm-up beginning after 11:30am.

This event is open to participants of all ages, and is family and pet friendly. We invite all Peterborough and Trent community members to register.

Upon entering campus, follow the main road and the signage towards Bata Library. There are pay-and-display parking lots in front of Bata Library, at Champlain College, at Lady Eaton College, and at the Athletics Centre.

We strongly encourage participants to bring sunglasses to wear during the run. The colour powder is non-toxic and will wash out of clothing and shoes. Feel free to bring headphones and music, and a water bottle if you wish. There will be water-filling stations on site.
