Quad Citians got a dose of color over the weekend with Mel Foster's Color the Quads 5k.

The event Saturday, May 30 included a Kids Color Dash. This was the third year for the races and proceeds benefited three local charities: Bethany Home for Children and Families, Gigi's Playhouse, and Hand in Hand.

Runners gathered at Cumberland Square on Spruce Hills Drive in Bettendorf, Iowa for the colorful festivities. More than 1,500 participants showed up, despite some chilly and wet weather.

"It's a fun way to do it, it's a fun way to get the families out," said Race Coordinator Lynsey Engels. "Obviously we have great support from community businesses that are all local and then all the money goes to local charities."

More than $70,000 was raised.
