It would seem there is a bit of a lull in events post Vodacom Durban July. Here are the interesting things I’ve found, failing these you’ve always got your pick of the fabulous weekend markets like Shongweni and The Litchi Orchard to fall back on.
12Â July 2015 –Â The Colour Run – Running4Rare
The happiest 5km on the planet is back in Durban this weekend in conjunction with Running4Rare, an event that helps to raise funds for Rare Diseases South Africa.
The day is all about crazy colour and having fun while doing something awesome for someone with a rare disease. The course takes approximately 1 – 2 hours to complete, depending on whether you walk, run or roll your way to the finish line which is in the festival zone.
Once in the festival zone, you get to continue the colour madness and party with your fellow runners/walkers/rollers and enjoy music from some awesome DJs and local acts.
There will be food and drinks on sale, so bring some cash and get colourful!
