We’re teaming up with Ayrshire Cancer Support to bring back the colourful and fun 5k this summer for you, your family and your friends to get involved in. Taking place on Saturday 13th June in Eglinton Park, Irvine, the last event saw over 1000 supporters come together to raise over £50,000 between the two charities - and this year promises to be bigger than ever!
Tracy Flynn, Ayrshire Hospice Chief Executive, said: “It’s fantastic to have Colour Dash back this summer and to host the event alongside Ayrshire Cancer Support. Two fantastic local charities and every penny raised benefits the people of Ayrshire. “Colour Dash in 2024 was a great event that saw families and friends come together to remember someone close and raise money for two fabulous organisations. Our clinical teams already work closely together to support patients, and it’s great having events like Colour Dash to raise money for the families our care touches.” Karen McIntyre, Chief Executive, Ayrshire Cancer Support said: “Working in partnership with the Ayrshire Hospice allows us to make a far greater impact across our community. By coming together for events like the Colour Dash this June, we’re not only raising vital funds but also creating something that brings people together in a positive, uplifting way.
“Collaboration like this strengthens local services and ensure we can support more individuals and families when they need us most.” Whether you are young or old, an experienced runner or more of a gentle stroller, Colour Dash promises fun and lots of coloured powder. Whether you are joined by friends, family or colleagues, there will be refreshments and entertainment on site as you prepare to be covered head to toe in colour!
