It was colourful - and so much fun!

The main event saw 150 enthusiastic runners creating an unforgettable experience with the colour run through an obstacle course and around the field to be showered with powdered colours at various stations, all to raise funds for the Friends of Yaxham Primary School Charity, which put on the event. 

"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants, sponsors, and volunteers who made this event a resounding success," said Karly Gray, vice chair of the Friends of Yaxham School.
