IMPORTANT INFO FOR THE KIDS’ COLOUR DASH
The Kids’ Colour Dash is open to kids aged 12 years or under. Here are some important details to help you have a great experience:
- Once registered online or in person, you do not need to check in, on the day of the event.
- The coloured dye will be in a powder and/or liquid form and will be thrown or squirted at the kids as they run past.
- We recommend kids wear old white clothes (that can be stained), as white will show up the colours the best. (Note: the dye is not likely to stain any clothes permanently, but we cannot guarantee this).
- To protect their eyes, kids may like to wear swimming goggles or protective glasses while they run.
- As this is a public event, your child/ren may be photographed. If you see a photo published online that you wish to be removed, please contact us directly via private message on facebook or email the school via metung.ps@education.vic.gov.au
- Parents/carers are permitted run with their kids for no additional charge.
See you there!
