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 again 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

Prize packages will be awarded to top Male & Female overall finishers and top Male & Female masters finishers. Male and Female age group winners will be recognized with medals. Nonbinary awards will be made based on online entries by 4/28 or will be made after the race & mailed if there are entries/finishers in that category. Race Day Registration is available for $35, but race t-shirts are not guaranteed after 4/28. Nicholls Student participants will be included in results for prizes/age group award winners. 

All Kids 1k participants will receive a medal for being a Hope Lodge Champion!
