“Colour Dash is all about wearing your biggest smile, raising money and having fun with your friends and family.

“You can run, walk, or dance the 5k route and when you cross the finish line you will be showered in all the colours of the rainbow!”

The Colour Dash is a 5k route lined with paint stations, which will see runners splattered in paint at every kilometre.
