Color Me Rad Run 2013
Runners flocked to Spokane County Raceway Saturday, June 15 to run five kilometers, but more importantly, to get doused colored cornstarch along the way. The racers gathered for an after party to throw more color in the air and at each other and bounce to pounding dance music.
