Save by booking early for Summer Music Colour Run
The Summer Music Colour Run series will celebrate its fifth birthday at the end of 2018 when the coastal resort towns of Hermanus, Plettenberg Bay and Mossel Bay host the annual sporting festival during the December holidays.
The annual 5km fun run and family festival will boast its usual complement of three colour stations, which immerse participants in bright colours, as well as two music stations manned by local DJs who will keep participants entertained along the route. The 2018 series will also see three new event experiences unveiled to participants: a glitter start to get proceedings underway; a giant inflatable slide; and a dodgeball arena.
“We’re really excited about this year’s series, not only because it’s our fifth birthday but also because we’ll be showcasing three unique new experiences, which will add to the atmosphere and festivities, “said Bianca le Roux, the owner of Coastline Events which organises the annual Summer Run series. “Over the last five years, we’ve grown tremendously and have been blown away by the interest shown by holidaymakers, as well as the manner in which the local communities have embraced the event.”
As an alcohol-free event, the Summer Music Colour Run series is aimed at bringing families together to celebrate summer in a fun way during South Africa’s traditional end-of-year holiday season. Although the normal entry fees are R260 per person (apart from children under 10 who can participate for free) this year’s event will be running an early bird special from 4-16 September at a discounted entry fee of R150 per person.
Each entrant will receive a T-shirt, race number, a sachet of colour powder as well as entry to the festival zone, which is where the colour burst, dodgeball arena and giant inflatable slide will be located. Each entrant will also receive a R150 Travelstart voucher and a R300 Safari Now voucher.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming both previous and new Summer Music Colour Run participants as we think the new experiences will add something unique to the event,” says le Roux.
“It’s a great day out for the family and a really special way to add some colour to your end-of-year summer holiday.”
The Summer Music Colour Run will take place in Hermanus on 6 December at 16h00 at Hermanus High School.
