Central College hosts its spring fun run this evening.

The 1.853-mile event — a number honoring Central’s founding year, is a glow run at 8 p.m. with free glow sticks, body paint and light wrist bands for safety.

The run is not timed, and it is free to participate. The route begins near the flagpole monument in front of Weller Center for Business and International Studies, with a finish line on the football field. Runners of any age are invited to participate to warm up for Pella’s upcoming Klompen Classic 5K.

The event is sponsored by student development wellness, residence life and the Campus Activities Board.
