Today our school participated in a 5km Colour Run.
This was a fundraising event organised by another school in Kaitaia and the aim was to 'colour Kaitaia with positivity' and 'promote healthy living'.
Our school whanau supported this event with enthusiasm! When we got to the showgrounds it was like arriving at a party, there was music blaring and people everywhere dancing and talking. Everyone had nice clean white shirts on. The crowd warmed up together, we had lots of fun doing the crazy dance moves and stretches.
Then we were off!
The course took us through town, lots of people were out on the streets watching and supporting us. At certain points on the course there were colour stations where the marshalls bombed the runners with coloured powder - you didnt want to have your mouth open when you ran through!! By the end of the course there were no white shirts - they looked tie-dyed instead!
Everyone cheered everybody else on when they completed the course and went through the FINISH line. It was an awesome morning out and so cool to do an event like this with the whole community.
that day was fun but my eyes were burning becasue i got colour in my eyes and i tried to wash it with water and it hurt more :(
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome and I hope you had lots of fun running the 5km run. The colour part sounds really fun. I love running because it's a fun athletic sport.
