Malden library plans color run June 15

Malden branch of the Whitman County Library (WCL) will host a color run to kick start Whitman County Library's summer reading, which has a health and fitness focus this year, said Catalina Flores, circulation and branch services coordinator with the WCL.

The “Very Colorful Fun Run” is slated for a 7 p.m. start at the Malden library, located at 205 SW Moreland Avenue. The color run is free to all participants. Flores said Malden teens will get together this week to mix the colors for the run next week.

“We'll get a rainbow going in Malden,” she said.

Flores said the run course is “child-friendly” and can be run as many times as participants desire.

“It will start right in front of the library because that's where the park is, and it's more of a small obstacle course,” Flores said. “Participants can do as many laps as they would like because it's more of a child-friendly obstacle course.”

This will be the first time Malden has hosted a color run, Flores said. She added that anyone, regardless of where they live, can participate in the color run.
