There was plenty of sunshine at the 2023 Morecambe Colour Dash for St John's Hospice

Hundreds of people have taken part in the 2023 Morecambe Colour Dash for St John's Hospice hosted by Beyond Radio.

This 5km family fun run with a difference saw around 450 participants plastered with powdered paint as they made their way along Morecambe Promenade on Sunday.

The Beyond Radio team of Phill Hayward, Vanessa Ramsden, Sam Cragg, Ethan Isaacs and Roy Ward were on hand to start proceedings and get everyone in the party mood.

And Beyond Bear was there too!

Samba Espirito samba drumming band performed for the crowds and CW Fitness led the entrants in a pre-run warm-up.

A spokesperson for organisers St John's Hospice said: "Wow, what a day that was! The October weather really did us proud.

"Thank you to everyone who came down to support our Morecambe Colour Dash!"

The Colour Dash was originally due to take place on September 24 but was rescheduled due to the weather.

St John's Hospice is based on Slyne Road in Lancaster and provides free palliative care to patients with life shortening conditions.

The hospice will announce the final amount of money raised from the event in due course.
