The Dougherty Valley track and field team hosted the first-ever Wildcat Color Fun Run on Sunday, April 30. The Color Run raised funds for the track and field program and brought together families and team members. Team captains led participants in a warm up before they started running or walking the 1.5 mile course, which ended with a group color toss. 

The fundraiser benefitted the track and field team, which will compete at the East Bay Athletic League Championships this weekend on May 5 and 6.
