This past Sunday, members of the community supported breast cancer awareness by participating in the first ever Unalaska 5K Powder Run. It was a perfect day for walking or running in the sunshine, and according to IFHS Executive Director Eileen Conlon Scott, about 177 individuals participated, including women, men, students, children in strollers and backpacks and an uncounted number of dogs. Students volunteered to throw color powder at the runners as they passed various stations along the way, resulting in a very colorful group by the end of the event.
