Free colour run supports autism awareness in Umtentweni
The event starts at 08:00, and everyone is encouraged to come dressed in white or blue.
A burst of colour awaits as locals prepare to gather for a vibrant Autism Acceptance Colour Run at the Tweni Centre in Umtentweni this Saturday (4th) in honour of International Autism Awareness Month.
Hosted by The Local Loop, the 5km colour run invites friends and families – including children and dogs on leads – to take part in a fun, inclusive event that shows support for individuals on the autism spectrum.
The event will start at 08:00, and everyone is encouraged to come dressed in white or blue, ready to be splashed with colour along the route.
The morning promises to be a fun time of music, refreshments and treats, including cupcakes and milkshakes, while everyone can also expect a colourful experience as powdered paint will be safely squirted from bottles along the route.
“April is Autism Acceptance Month, and this event is a way for the community to show that individuals on the autism spectrum will never walk alone,” said Hayley Anderson, founder of The Local Loop.
The event coincides with the Easter weekend, with hidden Easter eggs waiting to be discovered along the trail.
The event is free to attend.
