FAQ’s
Q: Can our friends and extended family members participate?
A: Of course they can, we will have a registration tent on the school grounds. Cost will be $10 per person $15 for a family – cash only please! Adults can run free with a child, especially with a little person.

Q: Will the colour wash off, is the colour safe and will it damage my clothes?
A: Yes, by all accounts the colour washes off clothing, however to play it safe we recommend old clothes. The colour shows up best on white tee shirts. The colour is non toxic (coloured cornflour).

Q: Will there be those awesome t-shirt sold?
A: Due the price increase, the PTA thought we would not put pressure on the parents to purchase them. Short answer, no we won’t, sorry.

Q: Will we get wet?
A: Yes you will get a little wet and if you want, you can get extremely wet.

Q: About the course?
A: Its around 2.5kms long with lots of fun activities for all ages on route. There will be an adult at station 2 to advise the short course for our little ones.

There is no prize for the fastest person so have fun and do the activities. We have told our helpers to not aim the colour at people faces, but in reality expect it all over you, especially mums and dads!

Younger children may like to wear swim goggles or sunglasses to protect their eyes. We will have water at each station to rinse eyes if needed.

Q: Will we all go out together?
A: No, everyone will congregate at the start line and we will send waves of around 40 to 50 people out 5 minutes apart.

Q: We have sports/ other activities in the morning. Do we have to be there at 9.00am?
A: Ideally we will love everyone to be there at 9.00am. However, do not panic the final race will be at 11:10am.

Q: Will there be coffee?
A: Yes!

Q: What food is available?
A: Sausage sizzle, drinks, ice cream and ice blocks. The coffee van will be also selling sweet treats e.g muffins, slices

Q: Will there be EFTPOS?
A: The coffee van will have eftpos, the registration tent, sausage sizzle, drinks and ice cream/ blocks won’t, so please make sure to also bring some cash.

Q: What if its raining?
A: We wont cancel unless the weather is extreme. School app will confirm any cancellation.
