Plenty of colour and fun is coming back in 2021.

The world's brightest fun run will be making a bright splash here in Tauranga in January, and thanks to Farmer Autovillage tickets will be given away to families that may otherwise not be able to participate.

The Farmer Autovillage Colour Dash will feature entertainment from start to finish with live music, Zumba parties, food vendors and spot prizes.

All ages, shapes and sizes can get involved and walk, run, or crawl while being splashed with special colourful dust at five stations along the fun run.

Each colour station will be sponsored by a local business or organisation, with TLC Insurance already planning to sponsor the orange station.

Everyone who registers will receive a free t-shirt and a bag of colour.

The Tauranga City Council funded event is pram and wheelchair friendly and will be a great day out for families, friends, and work mates.

'The cool thing about this event is that while limited tickets are on sale to the general public, the rest of the tickets are being given to low-decile families in our community, to give them an experience they might not otherwise be able to have, due to cost,” says event manager Larissa Downey.

'So lots of families in our community are going to get a neat surprise and have a really cool, fun day out.”

To help reduce waste, participants are asked to bring their own drink bottles, with water fill-up stations available at the event.

Tickets can be purchased now from: www.eventspronto.co.nz/colourdash2021

Registration packs need to be picked up the day before on Saturday, January 23, from 2pm – 6pm at Baypark.
