Emmjay and Emmlet II – Before the Run

Last Sunday, the Pig’s Arms Humorous Runners hit the road, joined by a few strangers and a couple of trusty pals in the Swisse Color (sic) 5 km run.  Twenty thousand others tagged along, raising $200,000 for Children’s Heart Disease Research – HeartKids.

Beginning its Australian tour in Melbourne in November 2012, The Swisse Color Run in Sydney was next up as it continues on its national tour, to include Brisbane, Adelaide, Gold Coast, Newcastle and Canberra.

At each kilometre point, runners were able to accept or reject (why be there ?) the advances of teams hurling brightly coloured powders at previously pristine T-shirts and their occupants, culminating in several huge crowd throws at the finish line.
