The Wildstone Colours 4 Kids Run is finally back this Sunday, June 11 starting at 10 a.m. at LocoLanding Adventure Park.
In partnership with the OSNS Child and Youth Development Centre, Wildstone Construction has brought back the colourful run for another year.
At the start, they’ll cover you from head to toe in vibrant colours (and yes, everything washes off). The 2.5 or 5 kilometre run will start and finish at LocoLanding with participants running up Lakeshore to Okanagan Lake Park and back. There will be a turnaround point for anyone who wishes to run a shorter distance.
Last time around, in 2019, the event raised a total of $21,580 thanks to the participation of more than 800 people. All funds raised ensure OSNS, the Penticton-based child development centre has the right therapy equipment to meet children’s needs.
The run was started by Princess Margaret Secondary student Sinclaire Lovet in memory of her sister Bronwyn who passed away at the age of 18 due to a mitochondrial disease.
Wildstone is hoping to exceed 800 participants this year.
Tickets are by donation with Wildstone matching all donations up to $20,000. The first 650 registrations get a race pack. All others will receive sunglasses.
The race packs includes: a t-shirt, sunglasses and one colour pack.
You can register here.
