Run for North Caldwell (5K & Color Mile)

The Run for North Caldwell features two events, a USATF-sanctioned 5K and a 1-mile Color Run, with the net proceeds from each used to improve North Caldwell’s athletic fields and recreational facilities. Register for either or both events, each of which is open to runners and walkers of all ages. Participants in the 5K can register for the Color Run for an additional $10 charge, and vice versa. We will have separate awards for participants that are students at North Caldwell's schools (Grandview Elementary and Gould Elementary) and for middle school and high school participants. If any 5K participant is a student at these schools, please indicate that in the appropriate spot when registering. All online registrations completed by August 31, 2026 include an event shirt. 5K participants will receive a Dry-Fit T-Shirt with the race logo and sponsors. Color Run participants will receive a 100% cotton Color Run T-shirt. If you register for both events, you will receive two t-shirts. Registrations received after August 31, 2026 will receive event shirts on a first-come, first-served basis, when picking up race materials.
