Our Annual Colour Run
2026 Colour Run
and Community Fun Day
Saturday 16th May 12.30pm
Now in its fourth vibrant year, the Community Colour Run is back, and you won't want to miss it. Hosted in partnership with CFC South at Belfast YMCA's Knightsbridge Park, this is our biggest community celebration of the year. 🎉
After a high-energy group warm-up and our signature Colour Blast, you'll take on a family-friendly 2km course. Walk it, jog it, sprint it, or dance the whole way round! This is a fun run for all abilities, and every finisher wins a medal. Then the party continues. Stay on for our free community festival: inflatables, face painting, food trucks, and CFC South games for all ages.
Open to everyone from age 0 to 100. All you need is a white shirt and a willingness to get very, very colourful.
How Our Colour Run Works
🎽 Warm-Up
We kick things off together with a fun, high-energy group warm-up. Get the crowd buzzing, loosen up, and get ready to make memories.
💥 The Colour Blast
Our signature opening moment: a massive explosion of colour before you set off. The photo opportunity of the year. Don't miss it.
🏃 The 2km Route
Walk, jog, sprint or dance your way around the family-friendly 2km course. There's no pressure and no competition, just community. Every single finisher receives a medal.
🎪 Free Community Festival
Cross the finish line and the fun keeps going. Inflatables, face painting, food trucks, and CFC South games… a safe, welcoming festival atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy.
