Get ready for the most vibrant morning of your year at the Spring Colour Dash – where the only rule is to have fun! This isn’t about speed, it’s about splashing through rainbows of joy with your loved ones.
Starting at Waipukurau’s Russell Park, you’ll follow a lively course along the scenic Rotary River Pathways, dodging (or diving into!) clouds of colourful powder*.
Each obstacle brings new laughs and unforgettable family moments. By the finish line, you’ll be transformed into a walking masterpiece – the more colourful, the better!
Celebrate your rainbow victory with delicious eats from local food trucks, then relax and relish those priceless memories of pure, colourful chaos.
