The annual event is organised by Trinity Hospice and this year is expected to have raised £50,000 to help fund vital hospice care.
The event saw participants of all ages running, walking and dancing their way along the colourful course at Starr Gate Beach, passing through seven vibrant powder paint stations before crossing the finish line covered in every colour of the rainbow.
Colour Run brings together families, friends, community groups and local businesses in a celebration of colour, fun and community spirit, all while supporting hospice care across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.
Trinity’s Events Fundraiser, Danny Hickes, said: “What an incredible day. To see more than 1,600 people join together to support local hospice care was genuinely inspiring.
"Every splash of colour represented someone choosing to make a difference for local families facing
ome of life’s most difficult moments.
“We are enormously grateful to everyone who took part, volunteered, donated, cheered from
the sidelines or helped make the event possible. Every person who joined us should feel proud of what they’ve
achieved.”
Blackpool Colour Run was sponsored by Beaverbrooks, Eric Wright Group, Valeo Foods, Winter Gardens Blackpool, Greens Environmental and Holidays in Blackpool.
The hospice’s next major fundraising event is Blackpool Night Run – a 7.5km run under Blackpool’s famous Illuminations in support of Brian House Children’s Hospice on Wednesday, September 2.
