Splashing the colour to gain cash for hospice
The third 5k Colour Rush will see entrants, jogging, running, walking or even dancing their way around the cross-country course on Sunday June 19.
The non-competitive run, sponsored by CNG, involves participants being doused with clouds of dazzling colour at every kilometre, crossing the finishing line as a living work of art.

Gates open at 9am, with The Colour Rush kicking off at 10.30am following a mass Zumba warm up. Will Smith and Chris Dean from Stray FM will be compering the event as well as playing top summer sounds to keep the crowds in party mode before the colours are unleashed.
Other attractions include live music, street food stalls and face painting.
Saint Michael’s is asking participants to raise as much money in sponsorship as possible by doing the event. Every pound raised will help the hospice to support people living with terminal illness and bereavement in the Harrogate District.
