Ballito was a riot of colour on Saturday as runners and walkers came together to help build a new church.

More than 60 people took part in the 2.5km or 5km Dolfynkus Colour Run and Walk from Kudu Road.

Event organiser Pat van Schalkwyk said the support from the community had made the day a success.

“This Colour Run was a true testament to the power of unity, joy and community generosity,” said Van Schalkwyk.

She said the proceeds would go towards building a new premises for the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk Dolfynkus.

“Every cent raised will enable a dream to become a reality,” she said.

Van Schalkwyk thanked the runners, walkers, volunteers and sponsors who supported the event.

“Your energy made this event unforgettable and your support ensures we can keep creating moments that matter,” she said.

Organisers are already looking ahead to next year’s event.

“We will be back, bigger and brighter, next year.”
