Event Details
What is the Colour Dash?
Our Colour Dash promises to be an event for all - accessible and inclusive!
It will be a vibrant, exciting and accessible one [1], three [3] or five [5] lap dash around the Ngataringa Sports Fields in Devonport, Auckland. On the day, choose the distance that suits you best.
Choose your preferred start time of 10:30, 11:00, 11:30 and 12noon.
Participants, known as Dashers, begin the race in white attire and get covered in a spectrum of colors throughout their dash. By the end, everyone is a moving canvas of bright hues.
But the fun doesn’t end at the finish line! The celebration continues with our Colour Carnival.
A lively picnic filled with music, dancing, photo opportunities, and vendors. It’s an unforgettable post-dash party you won’t want to miss!
What to Expect on the day!
1. Check-in at Registration
Head to the registration tent when you arrive! We’ll check your ticket and stamp you for entry into the start zone. If you pre-ordered a Colour Dash t-shirt, you can collect it here—or grab a t-shirt and/or cap for $15 (100% donated to the Liz Soper Foundation of Care).
2. Pre-Dash Prep
Set up a picnic spot with your crew or head straight to the start zone during one of the official start times: 10:30, 11:00, or 11:30.
3. Hit the Colour Dash Loop!
Run, walk, roll, skip, or dance your way up to 5 laps—it’s your call!
After your first lap, you can either:
Finish strong
Head down the finish chute into the Colour Carnival and receive your personal Beads of Connection bracelet.
Keep going!
Each extra lap (up to 5) earns you a colourful sweatband—and trust us, you might need it!
