What is the Piako Colour Fest?

A fun, family-friendly event held at Campbell Park in Morrinsville. Suitable for all ages & fitness levels.

Step onto the track in white, and cross the finish covered in colour! Walk, jog or sprint as many laps as you like through our course bursting with powdered paint. Once you have finished creating your masterpiece colourful t-shirt, enjoy some local cuisine and entertainment. We have plenty of food and drink vendors, music and activities to keep you fed, watered and entertained for the whole day.

Thank you to our sponsors CooperAitken, Flex Fitness Morrinsville and Orion Haulage.
