Area cancer-related charities will benefit from the Wilmington College “Color Run for the Cure 5K” race planned for 9:30 a.m. Oct. 24, near Hermann Court on Elm Street.

Sponsored by WC’s Health and Wellness Committee, the road race is especially unique in that it is a color run featuring areas of the course in which nontoxic colored powders fill the air — and cover the participants.

Registration is required by Oct. 12 to guarantee receiving a race T-shirt; however, entrees will be accepted through the morning of the event.

The cost is $25 and $15 for students. Registration forms and additional information are available by contacting Jennifer Wall at 937-725-9238 or group adviser Bud Lewis at 937-481-2341 or via email at [email protected].
