FAMILIES and sports teams joined in the fun at Victoria Park as the St Helens Colour Run drew 500 participants on Saturday.
The event - staged as a partnership between St Helens Borough Council’s Active Lives and sports development team and Willowbrook Hospice - saw runners tackle a 4k route of the park while getting covered in coloured powder.
The event was sell out and trails of runners snaked around the park's pathway while getting covered in the coloured powder.
There was a genuine mix of age groups, with parents running with children.
