Colour Run, Semi Final, CCC Awards Night

Day #33

Saturday.

5:50am alarm! Yes 5:50am alarm!! 

Today was the day of the Colour Run. The Colour Run is an event which is held all over the globe in many different countries. And what better place to do it but South Africa. It's a mix up of a 5k run with a Coulour festival. The happiest 5k on the planet. Lots of people. Lots of energy. Lots of colour. And I was ready!

8 of us from the volunteers house were doing the colorful run. We took the 6.43am MyCity bus to town then caught another bus to Cape Town Stadium. From there we had a long walk to the start line. We weren't alone as loads of people joined the crowd to make their way to the start line. 

Every one was kitted out with a Colour Run T-Shirt, headband, number, tattoo and bag of colour! 

There was a long crowd to the start line. Before the race began the festival atmosphere had already started as colour filled the air. We were loving the pre race celebrations and got covered in colour! 

Go!!!

 We were off and with the help of my whistle we kept in a solid pack (team Save) and made our way through the crowd. Along the course at every 1k mark there was a colour station. Here people covered you in colour as you ran past, great fun! 

It was a great atmosphere!! Lots of fun to run in our group (4 lads, 4 girls) great laugh! Also on the way instead of traditional water stations there was fanta and coke stations, just to be different. At the end we all crossed the finish line linking arms :)

Finished!

After a quick burger we headed over to the festival stage! Some good music and again lots and lots of colour! 

Next was the long walk back to the bus station then home sweet home. Didn't have too long too relax. Had to get straight into the shower and begin the tedious cleaning process, it's not easy to clean off! The reason we were against the clock as at 1pm we were leaving to all go to the Rugby Currie Cup Semi Final; Western Province against the Golden Lions! Peter had managed to get us all WP tops reduced from R700 to R200 so we were all dressed up in the local team colours!

Great match! Had fun having to explain rugby to the girls and the lads, they had a lot of questions but it was good fun explaining the game :) 

Western Province 33-16 Golden Lions 

Victory!

Next I waked to Bruce and Louise's as they don't live too far away, leaving the volunteers to head back to the vol house. Tonight I was going to tag a long to the Capricorn Community Church FC awards evening! 

Really great night to spend with the boys and even I got a champions medal for my two appearances and one man of the match!

Tonight I'm spending the night at Bruce and Louise's before heading back to Sace tomorrow :)

God bless.
