Presdales Colour Run in Memory of Ms Rowe
Fundraising for Isabel Hospice 🌈🏃♀️
On the afternoon of Thursday 5th November, our whole school will take part in a 2km Colour Run in aid of Isabel Hospice, in memory of our much-loved teacher and colleague, Ms Samantha Rowe.
Ms Rowe was a passionate runner, and we can’t think of a better way to honour her than moving together and supporting the hospice that took such wonderful care of her earlier this year.
Key Event Details
-
Format: All students will run, jog, or walk a 2km cross-country route on school grounds.
-
Colour Stations: Non-toxic, biodegradable colour powder will be thrown at stations along the route. This is completely optional – a “no-colour lane” will be available at every station for students who prefer to stay powder-free.
Colour Powder Options & Wisepay
If your child wants to participate in the colour stations, please pay and give consent via Wisepay by Thursday 22nd October:
-
Paint + UV400 Sunglasses: £5
-
Paint Only: £3
-
No Colour Powder: Free
(Students participating in the paint will receive a wristband on the day. Those choosing the £5 option will receive sunglasses in an assorted bright colour.)
How to Prepare
-
What to Wear: Old clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (a plain white T-shirt works best!). Sunglasses are essential for eye protection.
-
Footwear: Comfortable running shoes or old trainers.
-
After the Event: Bring a plastic bag to carry stained clothing home.
-
Health Note: The powder is safe and non-toxic, but students with sensitive skin, eyes, or respiratory conditions (e.g., asthma) should take extra care or contact the pastoral team/Mrs Evenden.
Sponsorship & Fundraising
As this is a charity event, we encourage everyone to share our JustGiving page with friends and family to raise as much as possible for Isabel Hospice.
Thank you for your support in making this a memorable afternoon for our school community! If you have any questions or medical concerns, please get in touch with Mrs Evenden.
