Richland Manor's staff, residents and family members participated in the Lima 5K Color Blaze race earlier this month.
The event, held at the Allen County Fairgrounds, had over 2,000 participants.
Color Blaze isn't about winning or having the fastest time. It's about having fun while running or walking at your own pace as other participants and spectators toss various colored powders at participating teams.
