Lincolnshire Showground was filled with colour for St Barnabas Hospice’s sixth and final Colour Dash fundraising event at the weekend.
The Colour Dash has been one of the most popular fundraising events in the hospice’s history, with 15,644 people taking part and more than £745,000 being raised to fund vital patient care across Lincolnshire.
The Colour Dash is a 5km untimed fun run at Lincolnshire Showground, with participants being covered in coloured, environmentally friendly paint powder at each kilometre. This year’s event took place on Saturday, May 14, during St Barnabas’ 40th anniversary year.

The event also included food, drink and merchandise stalls, as well as music and a fun warm-up from the stage, and the opportunity for runners to see themselves on the big screen.
St Barnabas Hospice said this year’s event wouldn’t have been possible without the sponsorship and support of Western Power Distribution, Lincolnshire Showground, HSBC, Lincolnshire Co-op, Claverings Removals, Clearance and Storage, and Peachy Events.
