Hoping for between 150 and 200 participants for their inaugural Color Run, organizers instead saw nearly 400 people – of all ages, sizes and abilities – take off from the parking lot at El Portal Middle School on Saturday morning, Feb. 11. There was both a one mile fun run and a longer 5k, but runners in each had to brave a couple of color stations, where a variety of colored powder was thrown on them as they ran by. For many, it was the color that made it fun; for others, it was knowing that their entry fees will help provide programs and services for students throughout the Escalon Unified School District.
