Colour Run
The Colour Run is back in Perth this November to make sure we get blasted in coloured powder as we exercise. The run is five kilometres around Langley Park in front of the city, with people standing ready at every kilometre ready to douse us in colourful powder.
The race isn’t timed, so you can do it at your own pace and with whoever you like. The whole day is about having fun, so make sure you wear your whitest (and more disposable) clothes, so that you end up looking like you ran through a magical rainbow by the end!

Where: Langley Park, Perth City
Tickets: Prices start from $52.50, get them here.
