TIME is ticking for people wanting to register for early bird prices to take part in Durham’s most colourful charity run of the year.
The Colourama 5k will return to St Leonards Playing Field on Saturday, June 16 and alongside a variety of bright coloured non-toxic, washable powder paint being showered upon participants, Colourama challengers will get to take on an assortment of obstacles, including cargo nets, hay bales, tunnels and a waterslide.
This summer marks the fourth year for the fun run which helps to raise money for people with advanced illnesses in County Durham.
Jade McArdle, senior community and events fundraiser at St Cuthbert’s Hospice, said: “Colourama has fast become a date for the diary for families and friends looking for a fun charity event for the summer.”
Last year’s event saw over 1,000 people take part.
Registration is now open, with an early bird rate of £17 for adults and £12 for children aged 15 and under available until Monday, May 1. Children aged five and under can take part for free. Visit www.stcuthbertshospice.com or phone 0191-368-1170, ext five.
