Toma Color 5K and 10K Run for Charity

0

By Beverly Arrowood on March 13th, 2015

Toma Color 2015

In 2014 Toma Color inspired by the Color Run which started in the United States as a 5K run. The Color Run is now in over 50 countries. The purpose of the event is to promote health and happiness and came from an ancient Hindu ritual that celebrates the coming of Spring by coloring people.

Here in Puerto Peñasco a group of entrepreneurial friends got together and decided to do something to benefit the community and raise money for charities. This is the 2nd Annual 5K and 10K gathering. Last year it started at the Tiburon Baseball stadium and ended in the Old Port on the Malecon. This years run will start in the Malecon Fundadores through Fremont Blvd to Fremont Plaza. Freemont Plaza is 2.5 KM and return to the Malecon. 5K means one trip on this route and 10K means 2 trips.

In 2014 we had over 800 participants and raised over $120,000 pesos which was donated to the Hemodialisis Center of Rocky Point. 2015 our goal is to increase the amount of participants and also raise money to also help CAM La Montana, a school for children with special educational needs. While you are there registration you might check to see what else is needed for the Hemodialisis Center.
