Race Description
Colour5k is one of the craziest fun runs you will ever experience and great to do with friends, family or colleagues. The aim is to have a good time, you can run, walk or stroll at your pace, speed is not a priority, colour is…..
Every Kilometer there is a colour zone that runners pass through. Here willing helper’s known as the Colour Bandits shower you and your white t-shirt with our special 100% safe colour powder with each colour zone having a specific colour. As you go the colours build until by the end of the course you have become a masterpiece.
At the finish line we have a huge colour extravaganser, where you get to throw colour at you friends, family and people you don’t know (Yet!).
Whether you’re a casual walker or sport crazy, want some fun or to raise money for charity you will love this event. Runners come from all different back grounds and have one thing in common, they love fun.
There is one rule. You wear white at the start, like a blank canvas and then let the colour begin.
