Counting down from a minute, the runners hold their cups steady. At 1, they splash everyone in sight.

Runners paid entry fees and donations were accepted. Participants were “splashed” at two color stations as they ran and walked through the course.

At the end of the race, a finale “splash” brought the nearly 500 participants together.

St. Baldrick’s is Saturday at 11 a.m. at Campbellsville University’s Powell Athletic Center. Participants get pledges to shave their heads to honor children who have fought cancer.
