Plant City High School was awash with color Saturday morning.

The school hosted its second annual Raider 5K Color Run on its grounds with a course starting at the football practice field and ending on the stadium's track. Runners visited "color stations" to get sprayed with dyed corn starch and finish the race looking like human rainbows.

The event is one of the senior class's biggest fundraisers.
