Grissom runners soar through clouds of color Published June 23, 2017 By Senior Airman Cali Wetli 434th ARW Public Affairs GRISSOM AIR RESERVE BASE, Ind. -- Sunlight glimmered off sweaty skin as runners made their way around a 3.1 mile trail, then POOF! A gust of fluorescent color filled the air, coating them in a colorful mess. This is what the runners experienced during a 5K color fun run held June 3 at Grissom Air Reserve Base, Ind. The run kicked off the start of Grissom’s family weekend filled with several fun-filled events. An abundance of volunteers were stationed along the 5K trail and were prepared to coat the runners in a colorful array of corn starch. “I enjoyed the color fun run,” said Michael Judson, 434th Logistics Readiness Squadron. “It is nice to see people having fun being active.” Not only had the runners enjoyed it, but also the coordinators of the run. “Everybody had a good time,” said Bruce Cannady, sports specialist. “It’s a great way to get everyone active and having fun and we really enjoy putting on events such as these.” The 434th ARW is the largest KC-135R Stratotanker unit in the Air Force Reserve Command.
