County Armagh will officially host its first ever Colour Dash on Sunday, April 17, as exclusively revealed by Armagh I.
Registration is now open for the first Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Heart & Sole Colour Dash and the excitement is building!
Up to 1,000 runners and walkers are expected to ‘dash’ Lurgan Park with colour when this much anticipated event takes place at 2pm.
You don’t have to be an athlete to take part, you can run, walk or a mixture of both – the colour dash is entirely for fun!
The event kicks off with a fun group warm up before taking to the course and getting doused with colour powder at various points. Once over the finish line the DJ will keep everyone entertained until the countdown for the ‘colour throw’ that will fill the sky with an amazing rainbow of colour.
You must register for the event as entries will not be taken on the day. Adults tickets cost £15 and children 14 years and under cost £10 with all proceeds going to the British Heart Foundation Northern Ireland. An additional compulsory administration fee will be added at checkout (20%) from eventbrite.com and is not initiated by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.
