Peace Hospice Care is launching a new fundraising event this summer and they want as many people as possible to get colourful at 1-0.30am on Sunday, June 7.

The Watford Colour Run will involve runners being gently peppered with brightly coloured powder along the 5k route.

It is the first time the hospice has held such an event and the first colour run to take place in Watford.

Peace Hospice Care Events and Community Fundraising Manager said: "Colour runs are becoming big must do event with thousands of people taking part each year.

"We are delighted to be able to bring a colour run to Watford and we hope as many people as possible support this event. "It’s suitable for all ages and is great fun for the family and a fun way to raise funds for Peace Hospice Care. We must raise more than £4 million of charitable income each year to continue providing our services."

The fun run is taking place at Aldenham Country Park. More information and registration is available at www.peacehospicecare.org.uk or by calling the events team on 01923 335373.
