Countdown to Derry charity ‘Colour Run’

A ‘Colour Run’ will take place in Derry next month in aid of a local charity.

The 5k event will be held in the city on Sunday, March 13, to raise money for Children in Crossfire.

Setting off from Ebrington Square, participants will run to Sainsburys at Meadowbank before returning to the Waterside venue.

Along the way they will be pelted with different colours of chalks.

Runners are encouraged to wear all-white clothes to get the full effect of the colourful event.
