At every Colour Zone you will be covered with Colour. Yes, this will be the most colourful event you will ever see and be in. There are colours from the rainbow plus many extras, this will be thrown, blasted and blown about throughout the run/walk. There will be colour throughout the run/walk/crawl - colour, colour, colour. You will be blasted with colour from all angles, or just get your mate or mates covered in colour. When we say blasted - we mean blasted - it will come at you from every angle.
