Shelter Colour Run 2026

The Shelter Colour Run is BACK for 2026… and it’s brighter, bolder, and messier than ever.

Get ready for the happiest (and possibly most colourful) 3km you’ll ever take on! Join us on Sunday 19th July 2026 in Witton Country Park for an unforgettable afternoon of laughter, movement, and a lot of powdered paint.

Run it. Walk it. Dance it. Skip it. Cartwheel it if you must. There’s no pressure to be fast. Our only requirement is you have fun, get messy and help support our cause.

Every step you take and every pound you raise helps Shelter defend the right to a safe home. By signing up and getting sponsored, you’ll be directly supporting people facing homelessness and housing injustice. So yes, you’re having a great time… but you’re also doing something genuinely life-changing.

NEW FOR 2026!
Raise £50 or more on your online fundraising page before online entry closes on Wednesday 15th July, and we’ll refund your entry fee. That’s right. Raise money, have fun, and run for free. Not a bad deal.

So grab your friends, rally your family, rope in your colleagues and sign up today. Tickets are just £10 per person, and don’t forget to pre-order your t-shirt, medals, and paint packets to get the best price as they’ll cost more on the day!
