Take on a colour run obstacle course on Saturday 12 April at St Leonards Park, in celebration of NSW Youth Week.
Enjoy live music, food and refreshments, and fun activities with local youth services before running or walking the unique colour run obstacle course – including a tyre pit, walk the plank and labyrinth – while being dusted with Holi colour powder.
This is the third year North Sydney Council has held the free, family-friendly, all-ages event, which has drawn crowds of more than 700 in the past.
For the first time, teams of up to four people are also invited to compete in a Colour Run Relay Championship, tackling activities like potato sack and egg and spoon races, and a ring toss. Medals and prizes will be on offer for the winning teams.
