CHETWYND, B.C. — May 30, 2026, More than 100 participants of all ages came together this weekend for the successful Tansi 5K Colour Run, creating a vibrant, memorable community event filled with fitness, fun and friendship. The family-friendly event attracted runners and walkers from across the community, including participants of all ages, from young children to seniors. As runners made their way along the course they were showered with colourful powder adding some excitement and energy to every step of the journey.
The organizers couldn't have been happier with the turnout—and it wasn’t just about the number of people who showed up. The energy from the community was incredible. People weren't just moving for the sake of fitness; they were out there connecting, celebrating what it means to belong, and just having fun together. Everyone who made it across the 5K finish line got a medal, a little token to remember the day and their effort. After the run, the crowd stuck around for a free barbecue. That’s where people really came together—runners, volunteers, families, all swapping stories and enjoying the moment. During the event, a few people got some extra cheers.
Organizers handed out Certificates of Appreciation for the First Finisher, the Youngest and Oldest Runners, the Most Colourful Participant, and the team that truly brought the Best Team Spirit. Each award got a big round of applause and lots of smiles. There was laughter, paint everywhere, and you could feel this strong community vibe in every moment and photo. That’s what made the day really special. With so many people showing up and everyone so excited, organizers are already talking about next year. They want to see the Tansi 5K Colour Run become a tradition in Chetwynd—something people look forward to, year after year. This first run felt like the start of something lasting: a day for colour, connection, and a whole lot of celebrating what makes the community strong.
