Founded in 2016, Paint The Run (PTR) has earned its reputation as “the most fun run experience ever” by combining a colourful fun run/walk with a vibrant festival of music, entertainment, and community.
Built around the mantra Be Happy. Be Young. Be Free., PTR promotes both mental and physical wellness through movement, connection, and shared experiences. Open to people of all ages and fitness levels, the event encourages participants to run, walk, dance, and celebrate at their own pace.
For 2026, PTR returns with the theme MOTION — a celebration of movement, energy, and joy. Just as colour is never still, Motion captures the excitement of people moving through vibrant colour zones, dancing to live music, sharing unforgettable moments, and creating a wave of positivity together. Every splash of colour, every step taken, and every burst of laughter becomes part of a larger movement that brings the event to life.
Expect a colour-filled route, exciting activations, live entertainment, wellness experiences, and the iconic colour festival finale that has made Paint The Run a favourite for thousands.
Join us as we move, celebrate, and paint the day with colour.
