A new fun run organised by St. Rocco’s Hospice is set to turn the town multi-coloured on August bank holiday.
The St. Rocco’s Colour Run takes place at Walton Hall and Gardens at 3pm on Monday, August 31, where runners and walkers will start in white and finish bright, getting splattered with powdered paint as they complete the 3km course.
Ideal for all ages and fitness levels, the event is the first of its kind in Warrington and is designed to appeal to supporters old and new, who are looking for a memorable way to raise funds to support the Hospice.
Participants are asked to raise £30 sponsorship for our 30th anniversary – with every penny going to help St. Rocco’s care for the community.
The Colour Run is sponsored by Livewire, with additional support from McDonalds, accountants Walker Begley, and Lloyds Bank.
Claire Houghton, Income Generation Manager at St. Rocco’s said: “We’re really excited about the Colour Run, which will be our most colourful fundraiser yet. The introduction of new services like Hospice At Home this year have meant we need to raise more money than ever, and this allows people to have fun whilst at the same time helping us continue our care.
We’d like to say a big thank you to our sponsors, and we can’t wait to see everyone looking colourful in August.”
Registration for the Colour Run is £12 for adults, £8 for under 16s and £35 for a family of four. There is no minimum age required to take part, although if you are under 16 you will need to register with a parent or guardian. To take part, please visit www.stroccos.org.uk or email [email protected]
