Runners are lacing up to take Midrand by colourful storm thanks to The Love Trust’s education-supporting Colour Fun Run.
Midrand, South Africa (06 March 2025) — At the end of March, runners will unite in Midrand to tackle a colourful course in the name of education. The Love Trust’s Colour Fun Run 2025 can’t wait to welcome the community to Nokuphila School, where colour splashing, movement, and community are all on the agenda.
The Cause
A great excuse to get out and tackle 5kms in a unique fashion, the event is supporting the not-for-profit The Love Trust’s mission to provide quality, value-driven education to vulnerable children in Thembisa. The Nokuphila School and Teacher Training Academy provides education and social care to over 400 vulnerable children from Grade 000 to 9 in Thembisa, reaching and impacting 20,000 teachers and learners from disadvantaged communities.
The Course
There are no rules when it comes to how you move through the race. Run, walk or dance your way through the course, and you might just make a few new friends in the process, all while doing some good. When you reach the finish line, you’ll be met with food stalls, music and a wholesome day out.
“This fun run is an event for the entire family,” explains Charmaine Plogmann, Director of Fundraising at The Love Trust. “The aim is not only to raise funds for our ongoing education programmes but also to highlight the value of quality education as a catalyst and force for good, along with the role we all can play in restoring community systems in South Africa.”
For those curious about the colourful powder bursts that’ll give participants a makeover, the powder is said to be non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodegradable and skin safe.
