Runners donned white and prepared for splashes of color at the third annual Blue White Color Dash this weekend.
The event, put on by the Chelsea Middle School Athletics Booster Club, is held as a fundraiser for CMS athletics. It includes a 5K and paint party, where participants can cover each other with even more color.
Runners lined up on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 8:30 a.m. and prepared to run through clouds of color. Following the run, some participants joked that they could tell who went fastest based on who had the most color on their clothes.
