The Decorah Fire Department beat the odds and had perfect weather for running their 5k "Color Run" on Saturday morning.

They were rewarded with over 800 entries.

Participants not only ran the 5 kilometer course, but at four locations they had volunteers showering the runners with a multitude of powdered colors.  The runners had been given white t-shirts, so the powdered colors gave each runner a unique t-shirt to remember the event by.
