A sea of colour, laughter and determination filled Rock Park as runners of all ages came together for another successful Rock Hard Colour Run, raising funds to support military veterans while celebrating community spirit.
The event, organised by The Veterans Charity, saw participants tackle a military-inspired course featuring colour stations and obstacles before collecting medals at the finish. Alongside the run, visitors enjoyed live entertainment, food and drink vendors, giant inflatables and family activities throughout the day.
Danny Greeno of The Veterans Charity praised the volunteers, supporters and businesses who helped make the event possible.
He said: “So proud of all of our amazing team who supported The Rock Hard Colour Run today.
“Another fabulous and safe event delivered for The Veterans Charity.”
