During Youth Week 2025, PCYC clubs across the state will host free ColourXplosion fun run events for the whole community to enjoy.
Find out what Acting Sergeant Luke Handley from PCYC Bundaberg had to say about their event taking place on Monday 7 April:
Can you provide an overview of the event and what it’s in aid of?
Our ColourXplosion events will be vibrant, fun celebrations of the most important week in PCYC Queensland’s calendar – Youth Week!
We are all about celebrating our young people and this is a great chance to celebrate with those who we are already connected with, and welcome other young people into our community who may not have linked with PCYCs before.
For those who haven’t been a part of a Colour Xplosion fun run, runners will be showered by brightly coloured powder as they make their way around the course.
Our events will be accessible to all ages, giving everyone a chance to join the fun.
How does this event benefit the local community?
It’s a vibrant, fun, free event being held with the simple goals of celebrating our young people, having fun and bringing the community together.
We hope it will be enjoyed by young people who already know and love PCYC, and those who haven’t linked with us yet.
How can community members get involved or support the event?
Our Colour Xplosion Fun Run will be held on 7 April at 10 am.
The best way to show support is simply to come along and join us!
Are there any local businesses or organisations partnering with you for this event?
We’ve been really lucky that plenty of local organisations have shown an interest in this event!
These include Youth Insearch Foundation, Widebay Hospital and Health Service, Peirson Services, Impact, Yourtown, Headspace Bundaberg and Bundaberg Regional Council Community Youth Collective.
Having all of these organisations coming along on the day really helps to make this an all-of-community event and we are delighted with the level of collaboration.
