As children from a Whangarei school ran through an obstacle course they gradually became more and more colourful.
Their hair, faces and clothing became covered in green, yellow and pink coloured powder - and they were loving it.
About 200 children from Glenbervie School took part in a Colour Run yesterday, an event which came after the students collectively raised $17,000 for the school.
Tayla Yeates, 8, was covered head to toe in the coloured powder and said she had lots of fun.
