Or
perhaps you have heard of the Color Run? It is a 5K that is run through
Ypsilanti, and there are groups of people who throw color at you! Many
families and groups of friends run this race together, and it is lots of
fun and very popular....and expensive. One easy way to enjoy the Color
Run for free is to take some chairs outside and just sit and watch! Or
you can even volunteer to help at the race-you get a T-shirt! Take a
