On March 23, around 90 participants brought splashes of color to a gray morning at George Moses Horton Middle School. Funds from the third annual community event supported the school’s Parent Teacher Student Association to fuel academics, arts and athletics year-round. Rainbow-colored windmills lined the campus as runners and walkers made their way around a 0.8-mile loop. White T-shirts quickly turned vibrant as volunteers sprinkled passersby with colorful cornstarch. Participants were encouraged to complete as many laps as possible within 45 minutes, going at their own pace. After finishing one, three or five laps, attendees were eligible to win a variety of raffle prizes, including gift baskets from Chatham Outfitters, Red Moose Brewing Company, Pittsboro Toys and Fiddlehead Farm. Carolina Cravings was also on-site selling coffee and treats throughout the race. cm
