Pride Manitoulin and Mnaamodzawin Health Services Host Colour Run/Walk/Wheel — And they are off! Contestants in the 5k Pride Manitoulin Colour Run set out from the starting line at the NEMI Public Library.

LITTLE CURRENT—Sunday, June 14 was a perfect day to be outside and taking part in Pride Manitoulin’s Colour Run/Walk/Wheel event. Each participant was given a t-shirt, a pair of sunglasses and an opportunity to get wet – essential for getting one’s pride colours to stick to their shirts.

The 5k participants gathered at the NEMI Public Library, and the 1k participants met at Low Island. Once wet, and on the move, volunteers were on hand to dash colour on the runners and walkers, with fine, colourful powders in various hues.

“We’ve got about the same number of participants as last year,” said Ken Lander, from Mnaamodzawin Health Services. “There are a lot of unregistered runners, but I’d say about 120 to 130 in all,” he added.
