Thanet 5k Colour Run 2025

We’re back to colour the coast!

This family-friendly 5k event is an explosion of colourful fun. Take in amazing coastal views as you run and walk through clouds of brightly coloured powder around the route.

Gather friends and family to join the energetic atmosphere of people running, jogging and walking along Thanet’s spectacular seafront.

By taking part in the Thanet 5k Colour Run, you’ll be helping Pilgrim Hospices to continue caring for people right across east Kent who are facing a life-limiting illness.
