Taking place on 20 May, Forget Me Not’s Colour Run will see up to 1000 participants take on an easy 3km walk, jog or run around Greenhead Park in Huddersfield while being showered in clouds of coloured powder. By the end of the run, everyone will look like they’ve run through a rainbow!
Great for all the family, this year the Colour Run also features a 5km distance option for those who want to go a little bit further.
The annual event, which has been running since 2017 (with a-two year break due to Covid), has helped raise thousands for this local charity which supports children with life-shortening conditions and their families across West Yorkshire.
Vicky Stackhouse, events fundraiser at Forget Me Not, said: “The Colour Run in Greenhead Park is our biggest event of the year and something that the whole community can get involved in. Whether you’re young or old, fit or couch potato, like running or prefer to stroll, it doesn’t matter – as long as you want to get as colourful as possible!”
“And you want to raise as much money as possible. Because every penny raised by getting sponsored will go towards supporting local families facing or living with the loss of their child. In 2022 our colour runners together raised a whopping £35,000 – we’d love to do even better this year.
So, if you want to be part of the most colourful run in Huddersfield, book your place now!”
Tickets for Forget Me Not’s Colour Run are available on the day but are available at a reduced price in advance until 17 May here.
