It’s new, it’s fun! It’s our very first Aldrington Colour Run! Join us for an exciting new event in the PoA calendar!
Start your bank holiday weekend with a burst of colour – come run, skip, dance or walk your way through our specially designed track. Get wet as you pass through the sprinklers and then look out for our colour throwers to make yourself as bright as possible.
Compéred by Aldrington’s very own Mr Miles, join in the warmup and listen to our upbeat playlist to get you in the mood for fun.

What is a Colour Run?

Health and safety bit….
- Paint powers are cornstarch based and made with natural food colouring dyes.
- All children are the full responsibility of parents/guardians once they have been collected from the teaching staff at the end of the school day. Children turning up to the event without an adult (who must stay on the field) will sadly not be permitted to run.
- First aid/eye wash station available.
- If needed; any personal medical equipment i.e. inhalers/epi-pens) must be bought with you on the day.
- Disclaimer – by purchasing tickets, I agree that the PoA have no responsibility for my child and any medication my child may need is the responsibility of the parent/guardian at the event.
- Fun colourful sunglasses will be provided whilst you race – these are to be returned for the next group of runners. You may also bring your own or use goggles if you wish.
Help needed…
As always, we rely on a team of super Aldrington parents to ensure these events are a success. If you have an hour or so to volunteer for one of the sign-up slots we would love to have you on board:
