Gloucester

Venue: Plock Court

James Hopkins Trust are excited to be teaming up with Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust to host a brand new event which will be coming to Gloucester for 2026, Colour Up For Kids!

Get ready to get messy, smile big, and make a difference! Colour Up for Kids is a vibrant 5km fun run packed with colour, laughter, and feel-good vibes. This exciting event will take place on Saturday 9th May 2026 at Plock Court.

Along the course, you’ll dash, stroll, or dance your way through bursts of powdered paint, foam tunnels, bubble zones, inflatable obstacles, and uplifting music from start to finish. There’s no pressure, no timing chips, and no competition — just pure fun. Colour Up for Kids is open to all ages and abilities.

 

 

So, pull on your trainers, embrace the colour, and Colour Up for Kids — because having fun has never felt so meaningful. Tickets are available from £10 and can be purchased via the website: www.colourupforkids.co.uk
