About this race
The perfect place to set a Personal Record (PR)! The Colonel 5k course and event is designed for all levels of runners and walkers to reach a personal best. The course was designed by Nicholls Track & Field and Cross Country to take the community on a tour of campus and the recreation path where they run fast intervals. We hope you enjoy being cheered on by Colonel Track & Field and Cross Country while cruising this fast, flat course to a new PR!
This year we are partnering with SPA to offer free entry for all Nicholls State University Students and some color pop* to our run! *SPA will have several colored powder stations that will "pop" throughout the race

What to expect
Written from race dataThe **6th Annual Colonel 5k with SPA Color Pop Run! Virtual 5k** is a unique running event scheduled for **April 15, 2023**, taking place in **Thibodaux, Louisiana**. This marks the sixth iteration of the Colonel 5k, now enhanced with a vibrant "Color Pop Run" element. Participants can choose to join the race virtually, offering flexibility for those unable to attend in person. This event is designed for participants to have a fun and colorful experience, likely involving color powder stations along the route.
