Wellsford’s Rodney College will be filled with crowds of people and clouds of colour at the end of this month, when the town’s first Colour Run will be held on Saturday, March 29.
Open to runners and walkers, entrants can choose to take part in a 5km walk, a 5km run or a 10km run in and around the school grounds, with everyone guaranteed to get doused in brightly-coloured powder as they make their way around the course.
The event is being organised by local business groups Wellsford Plus, Wellsford Lions and Wellsford Volunteer Fire Brigade, with all profits going towards the brigade’s fundraising campaign for a much-needed ute.
As well as the races, there will be plenty to keep spectators busy, with food trucks, games and activities for all the family.
Organisers say the event promises to be a fun-filled day of colour, laughter and community spirit supporting a great cause, as well something a bit different for the town.
“Whether you’re racing through the colour clouds or cheering from the sidelines, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Let’s raise those dollars and have a blast doing it.”
Registration costs $25 for adults, $15 for children under 16, or $50 for a family pass, and all entrants get a medal, race bib and race tracker, with racing starting at 9am.
What to bring:
- Race bib and entry pack
- A colourful outfit that you don’t mind getting covered in colour – wearing red in support of the Fire Brigade is encouraged
- Water bottle
- Cash
- Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen
- Old towels or something similar top wipe off excess colour
