Owensboro, Kentucky -- English Park is where 4,223 energized runners gathered Saturday morning, March 23, for the ColorBlast 5K run. Andy and Sarah Glazebrook's family, including daughter Colleen and son Preston (members of the WC track team), were a part of the dedicated group that set out in some nippy weather to run in support of a great cause, disability awareness.
