ST Margaret’s Hospice Great Somerset Colour Run will be staged at Wincanton racecourse this spring.

Hundreds of participants will run, walk, skip or hop the 5k route while an army of volunteers take aim and throw brightly-coloured powdered paint.

Last year 1,400 people took part, raising more than £60,000 which paid for a whole week of community care across Somerset.

The event is on Sunday, May 21, and to book a place, visit the website, www.st-margarets-hospice.org.uk, and search ‘colour run’. Tickets start from £10 for children and £15 for adults.
