Hatherleigh Colour Run 2025

Saturday June 21st will see Hatherleigh explode in a mass of brightly coloured corn starch when Hatherleigh Carnival Committee will host their third ever Colour Run in the town. This fun event has its origins in the Hindu festival of Holi to celebrate the arrival of spring, this celebration has been taken and adapted all over the world where brightly coloured powder is thrown in symbolic celebration of good over evil!

To cater for all, we have mapped out both a 5km and 2.5km route around the streets and lanes of Hatherleigh and have also planned a ‘wheel friendly’ route for those wishing to take part in a wheelchair or pushing a pram. It is definitely NOT a race, more of an experience, and is open to everyone who may like to run, walk or wheel; however, they choose to enjoy it best.

There is no age limit, but we do ask that all under 11’s are supervised by a parent/guardian; under 18’s will need a parent/guardian to sign a waiver on their behalf.

Check-in / registration is from 12.30pm till 3.00pm.

Warm up with clubersize at 3.00pm, start time for the colour run 3.30pm.

Warm down with clubersize at 5.00pm – 5.30pm.

There are 3 main rules that everyone needs to follow:

1. To start the race in a white t-shirt
2. To end the race multicoloured!
3. To have a great time
