OUR SELL OUT COLOUR RUN IS BACK FOR 2025! We're very excited to bring our popular Colour Run back to Prospect Park for the 4th year and this year it is going to be bigger and better than ever, with our ever popular fun, family colour run along with loads of other fun stuff for the whole family to enjoy!

FAQs / Important Info

What time can I start the run? There will be a mass-start at 3.30pm and the course will remain open until 5pm when we need everyone to have finished the run and be ready to enjoy the festival. How long is the run?

The run is a 2.5km route which you can walk, run or skip! There are paint stations around the course where our volunteers will douse you in paint as you pass! You can complete the course once or twice, either way you'll have a great time and get a medal!

By coming and having a fun day, who am I helping?

ALL of the proceeds from this event go directly to supporting families in our community when life has got difficult - by having fun at Colour Fest you are changing lives.

Why are the tickets at different prices?

We operate a tiered pricing system to ensure that no-one is left out of our events. We invite you to take a look at the prices and choose which is most appropriate for your circumstance, the more you can pay for your ticket the more families we can help. This is a fundraising event, so every ticket we sell raises vital funds to support the cause.

As a guide, the tickets are tiered as follows:

Purple Tier - If you can comfortably afford modest holidays; you don't really have to think about your household budget or watch the pennies month to month.  

Blue Tier- If you can cover your day to day expenses and you don't really have to think about the costs of nights out etc, but do have to keep an eye on the budget to make sure you can cover all your costs.  

Pink Tier - If you have to run a tight budget and can't really afford holidays and other little luxuries, this option is for you.

What constitutes a FAMILY ticket?

What safety precautions do I need to take?
