Team Colors
Blue – The color blue symbolizes the sweat and hard work that goes into physical activity. At SFO events, our participants, volunteers and organizers never make it through without breaking a sweat and working hard.
Grey – The color grey represents the body. We need to take care of ourselves, and at SFO, we realize that stopping for a break is very important for safety. We encourage physical activity, but health is the focus and we need to know our limits.
Red – The color red symbolizes not only the passion for health and fitness that we all share, but also the drive and motivation we feed off of knowing we are helping others by participating in SFO events. Red is the color of our headband, and we wear them to show our passion for ourselves and others.
