Colour Run 2024

Inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi, the Colour Run is a fun and social 3km event which sees you get covered in colourful powder paint as you make your way around the route, at your own pace!

Event details

This event has now passed - thank you to all those who joined us!


Together with Bristol Students' Union, we are excited to announce that Colour Run is back for Welcome 2024! 

Join us on this fun, flat (and messy) 3km route - you can jog, walk, skip, or hop your way to the finish as you get showered in coloured paint! 

Everybody is welcome - you don’t have to be a runner! This event is all about having fun and becoming part of the #WeAreBristol community.

Included with your ticket are a white #WeAreBristol t-shirt and pair of colourful sunglasses. Plus, there'll be food and drinks at the main Pavilion, and a live DJ.

Our student Activators, as well as staff from Sport, Exercise and Health, will be available at the event to answer any questions you may have about sport and fitness activities you can get involved in during your time at Bristol - whatever your fitness level or ability. We have something for everyone!

Not sure what to expect of the Colour Run? Watch our video from last year! You can also find detailed information about the colour powder and advice on what to wear, plus more on our Colour Run FAQs page.
