By Tebogo Senosha

Community Health Living in partnership with Hashtag Meat Café and Mighty Media will host the Color Me Run event in Ga-Rankuwa Stadium on the 29th April 2017, with its objective being to bring local communities together in the name of sports mainly running and walking.

The event consists of all sorts of fun activities such as participants painting one another in different paints and colours, aerobics, as well as walking and running for 5kms and 10kms.

The event was held last year in May and was nothing but a success and the number of participants increased from last year’s 850 to over 1500 this year

To enter to compete in this year's event, people can buy tickets which are available at Computicket, Shoprite, Checkers and House and Homes. Each participant will get a T-shirt, colouring powders and a Bandana (Kerchief). And winners will walk away with medals.

The event organiser and Chief Executive Officer of Community Health Living Cooperative, Mr. Obakeng Moagi, said that many people loved the theme and the number of potential participants in this year's event has grown hugely in terms of their Facebook Events Page's response, also adding that, securing sponsorship is still a challenge for them at this stage.

"Our main aim is to get more sponsors on board for the event to be as professional as possible, and for it to match the standard of other events that happen in the suburbs," said Moagi.

The safety of participants is in check, as emergency services are set to be on site during the event to ensure maximum precaution for all participants. Late registrations will also be conducted on the day from 5am to 6:30am.
