A charitable race unlike most others is returning to a Colorado Springs park, asking participants to compete not in sleek athletic gear but in oversized inflatable costumes.

The 2nd Annual Blow-Up Race is a collaboration between three senior caregiving groups: BrightOn Hospice Services, Able Care Mobile Therapy, and Cornerstone Caregiving. Racers at Betty Krouse Park will grow to three times their size and waddle the best they can to the finish line in the fun-filled event, which benefits the Alzheimer's Association.

The race costs $35 per participant, and runners are required to bring their own blow-up suit. Registration includes post-race ice cream and beverages. Individual and team category winners for best time and best costume receive a trophy. All registration fees benefit the Alzheimer's Association.

The event runs from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 2415 E. Cache La Poudre St., the address of Betty Krouse Park.

Registration details and whether a participant cap applies had not been publicly confirmed at the time of this report.
