A collection of volunteers stood along a pathway in Logan Green. They were armed with small bottles. A group of runners rushed past them. The volunteers tossed their bottles at the runners, coating them in powdery colours. The runners laughed and cheered as they kept moving down the path, ready to face more colour attacks.
Dozens of runners, joggers, and walkers faced a barrage of vibrant powders during this year’s Colour Run, raising thousands of dollars for Habitat for Humanity Yorkton (HHY).
“It was excellent,” said Sylvia Henheffer, co-chair for HHY. “Our main goal was to make sure everyone had fun.”
HHY hosted the run at Logan Green last Sunday. Over 150 participants raced through a five-kilometer loop as they were routinely doused with coloured powders. The event raised over $10,000 for HHY.
“We had super support from the community,” said Tom Seeley, co-chair for HHY.
HHY plans to host another Colour Run next year. They hope to add new elements to the event to keep it fresh.
“New ideas keep people coming to the race,” Henheffer said.
