Newry Colour Run this Thursday!

Newry Colour Run will take place on Thursday 24th November from 5.30pm at the Event Space on Hill Street in Newry.

The run will start after the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Christmas Lights Switch On. It promises to be a cracker event for all the family. You are encouraged to come in your Christmas jumpers, fancy dress, Santa or Snowman suits and get covered in festive fun. It will take place in waves and will follow a short course of no more than 2KM around the City centre. There will be red and green colour stations on the route with gold and silver glitter available to buy for extra festive sparkle.

When you register you will be offered the chance to support all the charities and your fee will be added to the central fund to be divided amongst all the benefactors (First Option) or you can select one charity and 75% of your fee will go directly to that charity with the rest going into the central fund to support all of the causes.

Please follow the Newry Colour Run Facebook Page for further information about car parking, health and safety on the evening, purchasing fancy dress and other essential event information.

You are asked to ensure that you wear appropriate clothing and footwear- high visibility clothing and head torches are recommended and that children’s eyes are adequately protected with glasses or goggles.
