Greenhead Park is set to burst with colour this summer as the Colour Run returns on Saturday 14 June 2025 raising integral funds for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice.
The event, which is a now beloved fixture within Huddersfield, invites participants of all ages to walk, jog or run their way through a 3km or 5km route while being showered in clouds of coloured powder.
Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice provides care for children with life-shortening illnesses and their families around West Yorkshire through specialised care and support for children. Some of these services include nursing care, hydrotherapy, creative therapies and bereavement support. In 2024, the Colour Run raised an impressive £49,963.
What to expect at Huddersfield’s Colour Run
The day kicks off at 11am with early registration and entertainment, this builds up to an energy boosting warm up session at 1.15pm before the 5km race officially begins at 1.30pm and the 3km race at 1.40pm. At 2.15pm it’ll be time to celebrate with a colour party. You can continue to enjoy everything the event has to offer – including food, refreshments and music until it’s brought to a close at 3pm.
Participants are encouraged to wear clothes that they don’t mind getting too messy and wear sensible footwear. The course is mainly grass and walkways with potential mud and slippery terrain. It is suitable for adventurous buggies and wheelchairs too.
You can collect a Colour Run t-shirt on the day of the event from their registration desks. T-shirts are ordered in a range of sizes from children’s up to an adult’s XL, if you require a larger t-shirt contact ‘events@forgetmenotchild.co.uk’. T-shirt size is subject to availability.
“The event is our biggest fundraiser,” said Rachel Titherington- Kay, Marketing Manager at Forget Me Not. “It raises awareness to the local community, with not only families and friends participating, but also organisations through corporate sponsorship which benefit local businesses and the wider community.”
Tickets are available through Eventbrite with early bird reduced tickets priced at £18 for adults, children 3-6 years £10 and under 3s going free. All funds go directly to supporting the hospice’s services.
Whether you’re a frequent runner or enjoy being part of something bigger, Saturday 14th June promises to being an unforgettable day bringing people together- families, friends and workmates in joint force to raise money for a cause that matters while in the heart of Huddersfield.
