The 5km colour run saw over 1000 runners take part in the event. Participants comprised of children, youth and adults who came out “to run and play”. Mahikeng has over 20 open spaces which can be turned into playgrounds for youth and can accommodate well over 26, 000 children and youth.  The organisation aims to upgrade and renovate these playgrounds over the next five years to make them attractive and safe for children and teenagers. Other activities which can accommodate a skate park for young skateboarders can also be featured in these playgrounds to be used by youngsters who usually run the risk of injury by skating on public roads.
