The Strathmore AIM Society is holding their Tight N' Bright run on Saturday.

The event is to help promote and build awareness within the community.

Melissa Shayes is a job coach with AIMS as well as the race organizer and says that the event is open to everyone and registration doesn't close until after the run starts.

"The registration tables will open at 7:30 Saturday morning," Shayes says.

She adds the run allows the community to get to know the people that are supported by the AIM Society and integrate them into the community.

Explaining the tight and bright theme is a way to make the event fun and raise awareness.

"The past two years we have encouraged participants to come in their tight and bright clothes so they can visually support Strathmore AIMS."

Shayes says the support they've gotten from the community when it comes to prizes and giveaways has been fantastic.

Now the hope is to have the residents support as well.
