Colour run guide
- Decide where you will hold the colour run and who can participate.
- Send a note/invitation out to those you plan to host the colour run about Rare Disorders Month and how people can get involved by joining the colour run and making a donation.
- Ask participants to bring old clothes they feel comfortable running in and getting paint on. To align with the #GlowUpShowUp theme, encourage participants to dress in bright or neon coloured clothes and accessories where possible.
- In the note to your database, let people know how they can make a donation - either by brining a koha on the day collected by you or by donating directly to the RDNZ donation page.
- A colour run is usually 5km, but this could be adjusted depending on ability. Set up stations around the run where volunteers can throw the paint powder on participants.
- You could incorporate a colour run into an existing community event, like a Park Run or
fair. - Powder paint is available from Creative Classrooms and holipowder.nz.
- Take a photo of participants in their post-colour run #GlowUpShowUp attire, and post it on your social media accounts, website, newsletters, and any of your other channels.
- After the event contact RDNZadmin@raredisorders.org.nz to organise transfer of donations and send in your photos.
