Now, typically, the Color Blast event is held in March and, if you've ever participated, you're aware it can be exceptionally cold. However, this year's event promises to be MUCH warmer. With the date in August, we're banking on warmer weather and better running conditions.
Of course, the emphasis at this particular 5K event isn't time. It's COLOR! And the color is going to be flying on Saturday, August 28th.

The Color Blast 5K, which invites you to help Color Us Proud, is presented by Independence Bank and WBKR! The mission of the event is simple- to recognize the positive impact individuals with special needs have on our lives, to acknowledge their abilities and help spread awareness. I'm not sure about you, but I personally think that's a cause worth running for.
