The Rossendale Colour Dash is a 4km run, walk or jog starting from Marl Pits running track. Participants will be showered with coloured powder by passing through colour stations. The route takes participants up over the rugby fields and around the Golf Range. They will then take in the fantastic views from Hurst Lane and descend back down to the Leisure Centre.

The event will kick off with music and a warm up with Dance Like No-Ones Watching. The sea of colour will cloud the event area ready for the start at 12pm.

The Colour Dash is organised in partnership with Rossendale Leisure trust. Last year almost 600 participants helped raise £24,000 for Rossendale Hospice. This year the Hospice is celebrating its 30th anniversary and hopes to raise £30,000 which will go towards supporting local people with life limiting conditions.

Woodcocks, Howarth & Nuttall Solicitors have kindly sponsored one of the Colour Stations. They will be showering all our participants with green powder when they pass through their station. There are more opportunities for businesses to sponsor other colour stations. If you would like to know more contact the fundraising department on 01706 253633 opt 3.
