Adding a splash of colour to fund raising for Lincolnshire charity
Last year, the St Barnabas Hospice Colour Dash event saw more than £150,000 to help them continue caring and supporting people across Lincolnshire who are living with life-limiting or terminal illness.
This year, they are looking to make the event the biggest, brightest and best yet.

“After the huge success of previous Colour Dash events ,we are expecting another sell-out this year,” said Laura Stones, events fund raiser for St Barnabas Hospice.
“The Inflatable Colour Dash is the perfect opportunity to come together and show your support for St Barnabas.
“It is a bright and vibrant event that brings together the whole family, whether you run in memory of a loved one, or just to have fun.”

This 5k untimed fun run will see participants splattered from head to toe in environmentally friendly coloured powder paint, as well as tackling the new inflatable obstacles.
“Colour Dash is for all ages, and you don’t have to be a runner to take part!” said Laura.
“Whether you run, walk or dance your way round, you should feel proud that you are doing it for such a good cause.”
