Keast Park in Parkes NSW will light up in a sea of colour this Thursday 9th May from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm, as the community gathers for Healthy Harold’s Colour Run. This free, family-friendly event, designed in consultation with the Parkes community, aims to foster awareness of health and mental well-being, spark conversations, ignite interest in positive health outcomes, and provide inclusive opportunities for community engagement.

Participants of all ages are invited to immerse themselves in a rainbow of coloured chalk powder as they run, walk, or dance their way through the course. Alongside the colourful journey, attendees will enjoy access to interactive booths hosted by local organisations, offering invaluable community insights on health, safety, and wellbeing. Healthy Harold, the beloved giraffe mascot of Life Ed will be there to take photos with attendees, in addition to the exciting giveaways that will be occurring throughout the event. A complimentary BBQ will be provided by the Rotary Club of Parkes for all attendees to enjoy.

Healthy Harold’s Colour Run is proudly presented in partnership with Life Ed NSW, with generous support from Parkes Shire Council, Western NSW Local Health District, NSW Transport, Rotary Club of Parkes, North Parkes Oval parkrun and Evolution Northparkes Operations.
