Several events associated with baseball's All-Star Game are scheduled Sunday in downtown San Diego and the East Village.
First off at 7 a.m. is the third annual The Color Run 5K, in which participants are doused with colored powder at each kilometer as they head to Petco Park and back.
The run will begin and end at the Waterfront Park outside the County Administration Center, where a post-race festival is scheduled.
At noon, a block party will open on J Street between Sixth and 10th avenues. The event, with free admission, will include food, music and interactive baseball activities, according to Major League Baseball.
The block party will also be held Monday and Tuesday.
The Futures Game, featuring top minor league prospects, will be held at Petco Park at 4 p.m.
The rosters of U.S. and World Team players include Padres Triple-A slugger Hunter Renfroe, who could be called up as soon as next month. His El Paso teammates, infielder Carlos Asuaje and outfielder Manuel Margot, will play for the World Team.
The USA roster also includes pitcher Joe Musgrove, who grew up in El Cajon and attended Grossmont High School. Musgrove pitches for Triple-A Fresno in the Houston Astros organization.
