The Colour Zone Run, set in Christchurch’s Red Zone, takes participants through a vibrant and colourful course. Runners will start and finish on the old Ardrossan Street, navigating a scenic route that runs adjacent to the Avon River, characterized by its garden-like settings and ample greenery. As they make their way through the course, participants will experience bursts of color from multiple stations, enhancing the lively atmosphere of the event.
This run is notable for its efforts to bring vibrancy and rejuvenation to an area known for its recovery and redevelopment efforts. The community involvement in the event helps in fostering a sense of renewal and celebration. The inclusion of various colors in what was once referred to solely as the Red Zone symbolizes diversity and resilience, making this event unique in its celebration of both community spirit and the joy of running.
