Stafford Splatter Dash in aid of hospice
Plumes of pinks, greens, blues and yellows will once again shower the Stafford sky later this year when hundreds of people take part in a charity run with a colourful difference.
The Splatter Dash, organised by Katherine House Hospice, is returning for its third year, and in 2016, the hospice is urging people to take part in it.
The event returns to Stafford Common on September 10, and is a perfect event for small children and families of all ages, groups of friends or competitive colleagues.
Katharine House Splatter Dash is Stafford's original and messiest powdered paint event, where you start in your brightest whites and run, walk, skip, dance or crawl your way around the Splatter Dash route - getting covered in wonderful colours of powdered paint as you pass through the number of splatter stations.
Lisa Carson, Events Fundraiser said: "This is a fantastic, fun event suitable for all ages and abilities. We are urging people to sign up in advance as prices will increase on the day.
"The hospice does have a genuine need to vital raise funds so that we can continue to provide free care to local people; everyone who takes part in this event will be making a difference."
Registrations are now being taken for the event which costs £10 for under 16s, £15 for over 16s and groups of six or more at £10 per person.
This year's event is once again being kindly sponsored by Castle Estates.
Steve Roulstone, director of Castle Estates added: "We are very proud to be part of Splatter Dash 2016 and to be supporting such a worthy cause."
Katharine House Hospice provides free care for local people living with a progressive illness and support for their families.
The Hospice began as a "Hospice at Home" service in 1989 and now provides a range of free services at the Hospice and in the community.
Holly Addison, corporate fundraiser for Katharine House said: "I'd like to give special thanks to Castle Estates for sponsoring Splatter Dash for the second year running.
"Their sponsorship means that even more money raised from the event will go directly to providing free care for local people with life limiting illnesses."
