The Alpine Colour Fun Run is set to bring a splash of colour and excitement to Wandiligong in 2025, with the event taking place on Saturday, 5 April 2025 at Alpine Park, White Star Road.
While originally planned for Mount Beauty, logistical challenges meant a location change was needed, and Wandiligong’s Alpine Park and Wandi Bike Path provide the perfect alternative.
Participants will enjoy a vibrant, all-abilities accessible run or walk along the Wandi Bike Path, with the option to complete multiple laps. After the run, Al’s Skate Co will keep the energy high with an inclusive skate session at Bright Skate Park from 11:30am.
Why the change?
The Kiewa Valley was our first choice for 2025, as it was last held there in 2021, and we were excited to bring it back to Mount Beauty. However, after exploring all possible options, we found that parking and shared space requirements made it unfeasible to hold the event at the Pondage this year. Other locations in Mount Beauty were considered, but none provided the accessibility, space, and safety needed for the event.
With those constraints in mind, Wandiligong became the next best option. Alpine Park offers plenty of open space, a safe, accessible route along the Wandi Bike Path, and a great event atmosphere. Wandiligong also holds a special place in the event’s history, as the site of the very first Alpine Colour Fun Run in 2018.
No matter where you live in the Shire, the Alpine Colour Fun Run is for everyone. While the event is now in Wandiligong this year, we still want to see our Kiewa Valley community members - and everyone across Alpine Shire - there on the day.

Back to Mount Beauty in 2026
We know many in the Kiewa Valley community were looking forward to the Colour Fun Run returning to Mount Beauty, and we’re just as keen to bring it back! We plan to bring the event back to Mount Beauty in 2026 and will continue working to find the best way to make it happen.
