Colour Dash NZ 행사가 10월 5일 타우랑가에서 처음으로 열립니다.

 

칼라대시 행사는  연령에 상관없이 참가자들이  5km거리를 달리거나, 걷너나 (기어가거나) , 어떤 형태의 사람들이 참가 가능합니다. 매 1km 지점에서  형형색깔의 물감 세레를 받게 됩니다.

 

올해 행사 장소는 타우랑가 그리어톤의  타우랑가 경마장 (Tauranga Racecourse)에서 열립니다.

 

친구들이나 가족들과 함께 팀으로 참가하면 (최소 16명 이상)  1인당 참가비가 $35씩으로 절약이 됩니다.

 

흥겹고 행사이기도 하지만 ..   참가비의 50%는  스타십 어린이병원 내 Ronald McDonald House에 기부가 됩니다.  참가자들은 무료 티셔츠와  가방을 받습니다.

While clean at the starting gates, the finish line will be a different story, with each station of the course offering sponsors a chance to douse everyone in exploding colour bombs of orange, blue, green, pink and yellow.

 

“It's going to be so much fun,” says event organiser Luisa Schroder.

“This isn't a competition or a race, it's about everyone getting together and having a tie-dyed blast.”

 

She says organisers are already getting positive feedback from the public, with registrations coming in fast.

Luisa is encouraging friends and families to sign up, and for corporates to get involved.

 

“But it's not just about getting work-only teams together, but giving them a chance to bring their family along too and enjoy it all together.

 

“There aren't many things out there to do that suit everyone, and we want this to be fun and achievable for everybody – no matter your age or ability.”

 

Half of the money raised from Tauranga's event will go to Ronald McDonald House Auckland.

 

“Other similar events are more about awareness, but we want to raise as much money as possible for this cause,” says Luisa.

 

The Tauranga event is the brainchild of Metro Marketing's Michelle Whitmore, who took part in America's Colour Dash early this year.

 

“I was looking for a way to raise funds for Ronald McDonald House Auckland. There have been similar ‘Colour Run' events already in New Zealand's larger cities, so I decided to take the colourful occasion to the regions,” says Michelle.  

 

Tauranga's dash is the inaugural event in the Dash Downunder 2014 Tour.

 

The event will cap at 5000, but registrations will be available on the day if numbers allow.
