East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) has been hosting its Colour Dash series across the region since 2014, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Colour Dashes are five-kilometre (3.1-mile) fun runs – the fun aspect being that participants are showered with clouds of coloured powder paint as they run. There will be extra added fun at EACH’s first in Huntingdon, though, with the course to feature giant inflatable obstacles!
The Inflatable Colour Dash will take place at Huntingdon Racecourse on Sunday, 10 June. Runners will set off in half-hourly waves between 11am and 3pm.
Polly West, EACH Cambridgeshire Community Fundraiser, said: “Our Colour Dashes have been hugely popular with our supporters across the region in the last few years and we’re delighted that as we bring the event to Huntingdon for the first time, we’ve made it more exciting than ever!
“The inflatables are there to be enjoyed, so there’s no race element. Come along and run, jog or walk, or even bounce your way around the course, and be ready as our paint pirates shower you with coloured powder - creating truly impressive multi-coloured results!
“Please secure your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment and take advantage of our special early bird offer.”
EACH cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across East Anglia, and supports their families. For both families accessing care and those who have been bereaved, EACH is a lifeline at an unimaginably difficult time. It costs the charity almost £6 million a year to deliver its services and all funds raised at the Inflatable Colour Dash will help.
