LWA Loughborough Colour Run is back on Sunday 10th August 2025

LWA’s Loughborough Colour Run is back for a seventh year and promises to be a fun, family-friendly event not to be missed!

The Colour Run returns to Charnwood College and will be a 5km route, marked out on the fields of the college grounds. Entrants can walk, jog or run individually, with friends, family or even their canine companions. Everyone will have the option to complete the course whilst battling inflatables, obstacles and coloured powder paint along the way, all whilst raising funds for a great, local cause.

LWA supports ANYONE affected by domestic abuse and/or sexual violence across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

Emily, Fundraiser for LWA says: “This will be the seventh Colour Run we have put on in Loughborough and this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than before. Entrants will be able to spend their Sunday morning getting covered in powder paint, battling inflatable obstacles, and completing the 5km route. There will be lots of stalls and entertainment too, making it a great, fun-filled family event that not only helps raise funds for such a worthy cause, but ultimately, helps to support thousands of people in the local area.”

Everyone will receive a finishers medal along with a goody bag at the finish line and there will be plenty of stalls and entertainment on the day, including a Beatz warm-up from Karen Hix, inflatables along the route provided by ‘Bouncy Days’ of Coalville, delicious baked goods from ‘Annie’s Bakes & Cakes’, refreshments from ‘Really Awesome Coffee’ and so much more!

Entry prices start from £10.50 and children under five years of age can enter for FREE.
Fancy dress is permitted and encouraged, with prizes for the best dressed entrants and canine on the day. Tutus, sunglasses and T-shirts will be available to Purchase on the day.
