GET READY for Dorset’s ‘brightest weekend.’
Weldmar Hospicecare Trust, who have their Joseph Weld hospice based in the county town, will be hosting a weekend of fun and fundraising this weekend.
The charity will be holding its Colour Run and Bubble Rush at Lodmoor Country Park in Weymouth.
The Colour Run returns for its third year running on Saturday where thousands of runners will be splashed with coloured powder paint as they run through a 4km course.
To add to the fun, Weldmar are introducing their first ever Bubble Rush event.
The Bubble Rush will see up to 2,000 sponsored runners rush through a series of bubbly stations brimming with brightly coloured foam on Sunday.
Various races will be run across the two days. Weldmar’s two previous Colour Runs have raised over £160,000.
The charity is hoping to raise thousands of pounds from the events this weekend. Weldmar need to raise £10,240 per day to fund their free services, which include community nurse home visits and in-patient care at Joseph Weld Hospice in Dorchester, among other facilities.
There will be live music throughout the two days, along with Dorset food and drinks on sale, and fun events for kids. Both events are sponsored by Meyers Estate Agents.
