Blackpool Colour Run boosts Trinity Hospice funds by an estimated £30,000

Trinity Hospice is an estimated £30,000 better off after 900 people took to the sands from the Blackpool’s Starr Gate for the seventh annual Colour Run.

The event has raised more than £300,000 for the Bispham-based charity over the years and the latest success comes hot on the heels of the Beaverbooks Bike Ride boosting Trinity coffers by £15,000 earlier this month.

Trinity’s head of fundraising Linzi Warburton, said: “Blackpool Colour Run truly is our most colourful event, and it’s just wonderful seeing people wear their colours with pride and a huge smile on their faces.”
