The Colour Run is a fun, family-friendly event in support of Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, taking place at Greenhead Park in Huddersfield. Whether your children prefer to run, walk, jog or dance, there's a pace that suits everyone. The colourful course makes for great photos and plenty of memories, all while supporting a really worthwhile cause.
This is the kind of event where the emphasis is on enjoyment rather than speed or competition. It's a lovely way to get active together as a family and introduce children to fundraising for charity in a fun, engaging way. The park setting means there's usually plenty of space for families to enjoy the event at their own pace.
What to bring
- Old clothes your kids don't mind getting coloured powder on (or wear white and embrace the colours)
- Waterproof jackets and trousers in case of rain
- A change of clothes and a towel for afterwards
- Wipes or wet wipes to clean off colour powder before the car journey home
- Plenty of water and a light snack
- Sun cream and hats for sunny weather
Top tips
- Arrive early to avoid the crowds and give little ones time to settle in before the main rush
- Bring a plastic bag for wet or dirty clothes to keep your car clean on the drive home
- Check the weather forecast in advance and dress in layers, as you'll warm up during the activity
- Bring a camera or charge your phone to capture the colourful moments
- Have a chat with your children beforehand about the cause the event is supporting to help them understand why they're taking part
- Plan a post-event treat at home like a bath or shower to wash off the colour powder and make it part of the fun
