On July 16, a very enthusiastic crowd gathered at UM-Flint for the Color Vibe 5k Run/Walk. As participants traverse the course, they are “blasted” with blue, yellow, pink, purple and green powdered color (non-toxic, cornstarch-based). Following the run, the crowd enjoyed a dance party with a DJ, “color wars” and giveaways. The event benefitted United Way of Genesee County.
