Sweat the rainbow!
The Color Run at the Aviator Sports and Events Center on July 5 and 6 brightened the day with splashes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. The three-mile run was for all fitness levels and the focus of the run was participants having a good time, even if they didn’t clock in with a good one.
“I don’t even know how quick we did it,” said first-time attendee Victoria Aravena, who came with a friend.
The run was a mix of racers of different ages and different outfits. But it was after the run that the crowd really went crazy, throwing the color packets they got at the finish line and dancing to some tunes.
“The whole point that made it fun was afterwards with the DJ,” said Aravena. “Everyone was going crazy with the colors.”
There was also a giveaway — and Aravena won a coffee maker that will keep her energized for her next run.
