Night 'n Day Rainbow Run

Our Night ’n Day Rainbow Runs are returning to communities across Otago this November – and 2026 is set to be even more colourful, with two new colour stations being added to each event.

Run or walk around our 3km courses with your whānau and friends and become your own work of art as you pass through our colour checkpoints. Wear white or black clothing to really make the colour stand out!

With food, drink, music and play options on offer at the event, it's a great day out for everyone! Bring a gold coin for an ice cream from Night 'n Day. All ice cream proceeds go directly to Sport Otago's Sporting Chance fund, helping children affected by financial hardship to participate in sport.

Tickets are on sale now! $10 per person, or $30 per family.
