Young and old will on Saturday gather for the annual Color Run spectacular at Mitchell House.
Last year’s Color Run was a major success with families, friends and colleagues taking part in the colour filled fun run. “Every moment was wonderful and the sense of camaraderie was amazing. Even traffic officials were doused in coloured powder to the great delight of all the children. It was a day to remember,” says Braam Schoeman who took part last year.
“It was the best couple of hours I could have spent. Do not miss out this year,” says Mogomane Seabi.
This year The Color Run introduces ‘The Rainbow Tour’, which is set to see runners, walkers, joggers, and skippers enter the course in pristine white T-shirts and cross the finish line doused in a kaleidoscope of colour.
The run will kick off at Mitchell House at 09:00 and tickets cost R250 each. Children under 10 years run for free. Tickets are available at www.thecolorrun.co.za. Color Runners will each receive a race pack which includes a Rainbow Tour edition race T-shirt, headband, bag of colour powder, temporary tattoos and a race number.
Additionally, every runner will receive a R200 voucher from Superbalist.com to be redeemed against a minimum spend of R650 through the Superbalist app.
All registered Color Runners must collect their participation packs on 11 and 12 August at the special collection Race Pack Pick Up point that will be set up at Mitchell House. Runners must bring their IDs as well as the barcoded tickets or purchase receipts printed out or on a smartphone in order to be scanned in.
Only fully paid up runners get the full Runners Pack and all runners younger than 10 years need to be registered at the Race Pack Pick Up point and display their official safety wristband completed with their name and their guardian’s contact details during the race.
