Colour Fun Run 2023

We're so pleased to be hosting the second Colour Fun Run, the first one was great but this is going to be epic!

Arrive at 11 am to get registered and grab your t-shirt and colour packet ready to head to the start line!

Other activities after the run are available until 3pm... we advise bringing sunglasses for when you do the colour run...run, jog, walk, skip or hop, all at your own pace, no pressure - everyone is welcome. It's a 3km route. All registered runners will receive a packet of coloured powder to throw and a participation medal.

It's fun and social! ... not sure about doing the run? We will have loads of other activities on too including music, inflatables, giant lawn games, and an Ice cream van!

FAQS

What is the Colour Fun Run?

At each checkpoint along the route, Colour Runners are doused in colour powder. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race looking like a rainbow covered in colour!

What can I bring to the event?

We do ask that you bring your own water bottle with it filled up. There are water stations at Wide Lane for you to top up if you need to inside the Pavilion.

We encourage you to bring some sunglasses to protect your eyes and also wear white clothing that you don't mind getting colour on.

The Colour Powder used is made of cornflour and food colouring so there might be a slight risk of staining, although this is minimal and likely to wash off easily.

Important information

Bring your own water bottle with it filled up if you're able to. There are water stations at Wide Lane for you to top up or sip from if you need to inside the Main Pavilion.
