Color Run Raises Funds for Fisher House | Anchorage News

One hundred runners turned Eagle River into a rainbow explosion at the third annual Color Run, raising cash for the Fisher House Foundation that provides free lodging for military families. A five-kilometer loop around Lower Fire Lake was doused in color by enthusiastic volunteers, turning participants into walking canvases — especially those in white shirts. Inspired by her daughter’s love of color runs and noticing a local gap, the organizer brought this joyful, community-driven event to life to honor and support the military. With plans already underway to grow next year’s run, the event proves that fun and philanthropy can go hand in hand — and that a splash of color can make a big difference.
