Endeavour Park will be full of colour and fun for the return of the FreshChoice Rainbow Run this April after a three-year hiatus.
Water restrictions last year and COVID have seen the run postponed since its start in 2022.
And organisers are hoping for a large turnout of supporters to join in the fun and also raise funds.
Port Marlborough Pavilion project coordinator Regan Purcell is eager to see the explosion of colour return this Sunday 7 April.
“We used to do the Rainbow Run in January, but we struggled with the water restrictions, as we get the Picton Fire Service to come along and get everyone wet because then the paint sticks around better,” says Regan.
“The money goes into operating the facilities and ensuring that the clubs that we host have a home in Picton.”
“But it’s mainly a priority to bring a bit of fun for the whole family, creating colourful opportunities and memories for everyone involved.
“And don’t worry - the paint washes out pretty well, but just don’t wear something too precious or expensive!”
The FreshChoice Picton Rainbow Run starts at 11.30am Sunday 7 April with on the day registrations from 11am.
