Although this race started in 2000,many South students are participating for thefirst time this year.Every October, the Indiana UniversityStudent Recreational Sports Center hosts acolor run in honor of former student JillBehrman.Freshman Faye Bryan ran not onlybecause she knew how much how much shewould enjoy it, but to support the cause. Myfriends and I are always looking for somethingfun and active to do together, so we thought thatthis would be the perfect thing, Bryan said. Shewanted to sign up for the run even more whenshe found out that all the proceeds from theevent were used to fund assault preventionworkshops for IU students. The money raisedalso funded the yearly scholarship, whichBehrmans parents used to award IU studentsstudying public health, as that was onceBehrmans major. It was a fun way to getexercise and help out the community at thesame time, Bryan said.Senior Caroline Tann heard about theevent from a friend and thought that it would benot only fun, but also beneficial and educational.I like how all the participants get the chance tocelebrate Behrmans life in such a happy,positive manner, Tann said. As a celebration oflife, the run also brings great awareness to theissue of crime in the community, and it is areminder to all to be cautious.
