Colour Run Gold Coast

Colour Run Gold Coast is the most fun 5km run event in Australia where runners can run, skip, walk or dance their way around the course whilst they get flung with colour.

This is an un-timed event where participants of all ages are encouraged to get involved by wearing white as they will be doused in coloured powder at each kilometre of the run.

Colour Run Gold Coast is held on the Great Lawn at Broadwater Parklands. Money raised for the event goes towards supporting the Pyjama Foundation, a charity that works with children in foster care to develop life skills and confidence.

Participants should purchase their tickets in advance and make sure to wear white clothing. Your entry ticket will give each participant a love tee, race bib, tie-dye buff, gold sun tattoo, happy tattoo, colour pack and unicorn medal at the Finish Line.

The coloured powder used at Colour Run is used from corn-starch and natural food dyes. The colour is designed to wash out, however, do not wear any clothes that you aren’t prepared to be coloured! The colour may stain light coloured hair, so take suitable precautions to cover your hair if you are concerned about this.

Those with strollers or wheelchairs should note, however, that the course is on grass so may be more difficult to navigate than a sealed path. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted at the event.
