Rainbow Run 2026

Get ready to run, walk and finish the day covered in colour at the 2026 Night ’n Day Waitaki Rainbow Run. This lively 3 km course takes participants through seven colourful checkpoints around Ōamaru Racecourse. Bring your whānau and friends, wear white or black to make the colours stand out and enjoy an active community day designed for all ages and abilities. The fun continues beyond the course with music, play equipment, food and drinks available. Registered participants can also enjoy a complimentary barbecue, while gold-coin ice creams will help raise funds for Sport Otago’s Sporting Chance programme, supporting local children facing financial barriers to participating in sport.
