Foamtastic Colour Blast at Chester Racecourse

Sunday 30 September 2018
Chester Racecourse, Chester, CH1 2LY
Go from White to Bright and get sponsored to raise money for your local Hospice. Get covered in a kaleidoscope of rainbow colours and incredi-bubble foam at our 3km Foamtastic Colourblast.

The Foamtastic Colourblast is not your average fun run. Once you begin to make your way around the track powder paint will be thrown from individual colour stations covering you from head to toe and you will be blasted with foamy bubbles in our foam pits.

You can run on your own, as a family, with friends or colleagues as a way to support the Hospice, or do it in memory of someone who has brought colour into your life; our route is child-friendly.

Each participant on the day will also receive a free Foamtastic Colourblast t-shirt and medal, so make sure you select the size of your t-shirt when booking (and to collect these on the day).

All the paint used is completely safe and eco-friendly. However, we cannot guarantee it will always wash out so please wear old clothes - and wear white so the colour really stands out!

We'll also have a great range of entertainment, merchandise and refreshments there on the day and spectators are more than welcome.

This event is suitable for all ages so bring the whole family!
