Save the date for Colour Me Capricorn Gladstone, presented by Jemena, held on 9th October 2022. RACQ CapRescue invites you to be a part of the most colourful fun run in Gladstone this year! Run, walk, dance or stroll your way along the garden path, covering the Gladstone Ports Corporation Marina Parklands in a cloud of colour!
There will an energetic warm-up and 5km of colourful fun! We will have two distance options (2.5km & 5km) to cater for all ages and abilities.
Our life-saving service, covers an area of over 350,000km2 and keeps a community of more than 300,000 people safe. All rescue services are provided free of charge 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In 2022/23, our annual operating costs are predicted to be $12 million. We are grateful to receive approximately 60% of our funding from the Queensland Government. The remaining 40% relies on our valuable partnerships, sponsors, events and donations from the amazing communities we service.
This generosity from our supporters is as vital to RACQ CapRescue as our service is to the people of Central Queensland. You can be assured that the funds raised from the event will go straight to the source of our life-saving service with 92cents in ever dollar directed to the operation of the Rescue Helicopter. Come along to a fun, family event and help support your local Helicopter Rescue Service.
