WINSTON COLOR SPASH 5K COMING
Winston, Oregon – Winston will host a 5K color run/walk, on
Saturday, October 8. The paint race will be an exciting community celebration. Registration
for the event is now open.
With no winners or official times, Winston
Color Splash 5K celebrates healthiness, happiness, and individuality, bringing
the community together to create a five-kilometer canvas of colorful fun in
which participants are doused from head to toe in different colors at each
kilometer. Last year the event’s predecessor Color Us United run/walk used
chalk to color its participants. This year, water colors will be used to splash
on white shirted runners and walkers.
Co-promoters of the event are Pacific Fitness
of Winston and South River Community Health Center. Many area businesses and
organizations are also helping to sponsor the event.
Participants may sign-up at Pacific Fitness,
located at 10 SW Oak Street in Winston or via the web at winstoncolorrun.com.
Entry fee is $20 per person. Participants signing-up by Saturday, September 23,
will receive a free race t-shirt.
Check-in for the run/walk will start at 9 a.m.
at South River Community Health Center. Runners will start at 11 a.m. and
walkers several minutes later. The course winds through Winston before making
its way back to South River for the finish.
“Winston Color Splash 5K is a great chance to
bring together friends and family in a unique, healthy, and fun environment,”
said Tim Cox of Oregon Door, a second year sponsor and assistant coordinator.
Event coordinators suggest wearing a darker tank top under their white shirts
since it is a water event. “Be prepared to be covered in color at the finish!”
Event coordinator, Brandi Voepel of Pacific Fitness added, “This event is going
to be a blast and really help celebrate our community!”
