Join us for our Colour Run Fundraiser!!

Our first ever colour run was a big hit, so we thought we’d do it again! The colour run will involve athletes running a designated course with obstacles, whilst having colour and water sprayed at them. This will be held after the home meet.

Athletes are asked to raise money by getting sponsorship from their family and friends. The athlete(s) that raise the most money for the club will also win prizes. Please register here if you are planning to join.

Prizes kindly donated by our Major Sponsor;

Once cash donations are collected, they can be handed into the committee with the sponsorship form, be sure to include the athlete’s full name.

If you are wanting to pay via our bank account, we recommend collecting all money raised and then transferring this as one transaction.  Please include the Athlete’s full name and Colour run in the description.  This will assist GGLAC track all money raised from the event.

PARENT Information

• Please make sure Athletes wear a WHITE shirt and closed in shoes. Understanding these will get dirty.
• Athletes will be covered in non-toxic, biodegradable colour powder from head to toe, and splashed with water while they run laps and obstacles.
• Colour Powder is made of high-quality corn starch and permitted food colours.
