We are delighted to introduce Llandovery's first ever colour run! Organised to raise funds for Elidyr Communities Trust and supported by both Llandovery rugby and football clubs. It's a fun event designed to appeal to children and grown ups.
A Colour Run is a fun, non-competitive event where participants run or walk through a course with colour powder thrown at designated stations. It’s all about enjoyment, movement, and vibrant celebration.
Get ready for a colour explosion.
The course is a 1K lap and the run is open for 45 minutes - how many laps can you do in that time? Remember, you're running for fun and getting colourful for a cause! Feel free to stop whenever you want!

The coloured powder

- There will be plenty of powder flying around but if you feel like you need more, small bags will be available to buy for £1.
Tips to minimise staining from colour powder
- Wear old clothes or a white t-shirt to increase impact - powder may stain light fabrics.
- Dust off excess powder before washing.
- Wash clothes separately in cold water soon after the event.
- Avoid wearing suede, leather, or delicate fabrics.
- Use hair oil or conditioner before the event to protect light-coloured hair.
- Consider wearing a hat or bandana to shield hair.
Post-run fun

- Participate in the raffle.
Health & safety advice
