UNIVERSITY CENTER – On Sept. 7, people of all ages, from children to the elderly, made their way to the starting line with their white T-shirts and colored powder packets in hand. The seventh annual Delta College Color 5K Walk/Run was open to the public.
The race began at 9 a.m. with a colorful explosion. Counting down from three, runners threw their packets in the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The Physical Therapist Assistant Club and the Dental Hygienist Club hosted the event. There were raffles, which included a variety of baskets filled with goodies based on a theme. While waiting, cornhole and giant checkers were available to play.
Reaching the finish line, viewers threw the remaining color packets onto the runners. Almost every participant had colorful powder on their shirts, making for a unique T-shirt to take home. The first set of finishers completed the 5K within 45 minutes of the start time.
