LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – Despite scorching temperatures, thousands of runners and walkers packed Waterfront Park for the annual Louisville Color Run 5K.
During the event, Jason Goldsmith had a huge surprise for his girlfriend, a marriage proposal.
Goldsmith and Cassie Davis were among the throng of runners and walkers that took to the River Road course.
They finished back in the pack, but personal best times were not the point of this day.
While family and friends distracted Cassie with picture taking, Goldsmith put on a special sign language shirt.
Both he and Davis have hearing issues, so the shirt said, “Cassie, will you be my person?”
Davis signed in response, yes, as family and friends looked and cheered on.
