Imagine students running through clouds of vibrant colour, laughing with friends and creating unforgettable memories along the way. A Colour Run is more than just a fun event — it’s an exciting experience that brings schools together while encouraging students to get active in a positive and energetic environment.
Using Stage FX Holi Colour Powder, your school can transform an ordinary fun run into a high-energy celebration filled with colour, excitement, and school spirit. Students love the thrill of racing through colour stations while working together, supporting one another, and enjoying an inclusive activity suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
To make the event even more exciting, schools can add simple obstacles, goalposts, sprinklers, water stations or slime throughout the course. We have green slime powder made in Australia in stock for your obstacle! Perfect for creating an exciting challenge station, each slime powder mix makes up to 40 litres of bright green slime for participants to run, slide, or crawl through. It’s a guaranteed crowd favourite that adds even more laughter, energy, and unforgettable fun to your event..
Foam Machines are also a great addition as participants can run through giant clouds of foam, adding even more energy, laughter, and excitement to your event. We have Foam equipment and 100% safe fluid available for sale and hire. Book in your desired date this year before they book out. They are easy to operate, safe for school environments, and ideal for creating memorable “wow factor” moments throughout the course. Add a foam pit, foam tunnel, or foam finish line to make your colour run stand out and keep students engaged from start to finish.
A Colour Run also helps build stronger school communities. The shared excitement encourages teamwork, boosts morale, and creates lasting memories that students, teachers, and families will talk about long after the event is over.

Colour fun run FAQs
How much holi colour powder do we need?
We recommend allowing approximately 200–250g of powder per participant. Using squeeze bottles helps control the amount of powder used while still creating vibrant bursts of colour throughout the event.
What do participants wear?
We recommend wearing old clothes and comfortable running shoes, as some colour powder may leave slight residue on certain fabrics after washing. White shirts or light-coloured outfits work best to make the vibrant colours really stand out and create an even more colourful experience during the event.
What supplies are needed?
For the best value, we recommend purchasing:
- Bulk boxes of Holi Powder
- Refillable squeeze bottles
- Green Instant Slime Powder
- Flexi tubs
- Slime/paint Blasters
- Pre-filled 350g or 500g easy squeeze bottles are also available for schools wanting a quicker, hassle-free setup with minimal volunteer involvement.
Is holi colour powder Easy to Clean?
Yes! Holi Powder is designed to clean up easily after your event. It naturally washes away from grass and outdoor areas, making it perfect for school ovals and open fields. Any remaining powder can simply be rinsed away with a hose, and rain will also help naturally clear leftover colour over time. For the easiest cleanup, we recommend avoiding concrete surfaces where colour residue can sometimes linger longer than on grass.
Do you offer an online fundraising platform?
Sorry no. But we have some great news! We have partnered with Go Raise It and highly recommend them as they have one of the lowest fees in Australia. Only a 10% Fee! For more info check out their website https://www.goraiseit.com.au/
