Jay's Aim Family Colour Run 2025 - Sunday 31 August (5K Run at 10.30am and 1K Run at 1.00pm)

The ‘Jay’s Aim Family Colour Runs 2025’ are fun runs for all the family set on picturesque cross country courses over farmland at Greendale Farm Shop.   The events are brought to you by Jay's Aim in conjunction with Greendale Farm Shop, Exeter.  

Entrants will be able to choose from a 5K run starting at 10.30am and 1k run starting at 1.00pm.  Each event will have 5 sponsored colour stations where you and your friends will be doused from head to toe in different coloured ‘holi’ powders!  Our colour stations have been kindly sponsored by Progressive Systems, Brewin Dolphin, Exeter Cathedral School, Cornish Secrets, Greendale Farm Shop, Stratton Creber Commercial, Claydon Builders, Newton Abbot RFC, The Big Step and Optix Solutions.

The cross country courses are over private Greendale farm land with sections on both runs using the animal trail where you can say “hello” to Oscar the ostrich, Wally the wallaby, the Kunekune pigs, Highland cows and ducks and geese!  Both courses are uneven in places and they may be wet and muddy, so please bear this in mind before entering and do not enter if you expect to finish the run with your clothing the same colour as you started!

Greendale Farm Shop has toilet facilities and a large restaurant area that can be accessed pre/post run.  It also has several ‘take away’ food options.  Bookings are strongly advised for those wanting a table (https://www.greendale.com/farm-shop-and-cafe/greendale-cafe-restaurant ).  Food and drink is not included in the price of the ticket.

A pre-run warm up to music will be provided to get you in the mood and ready to run before both events.  The events are marshalled and fully insured with medical cover provided by Omega Medical. Several defibrillators will also be positioned around the courses.

100% of the profit from the events will go towards fulfilling the Jay’s Aim charity objectives of reducing the number of young people that die of sudden cardiac arrests in SW England.  We would also be very grateful and would like to encourage all participants to set up a SportsGiving fundraising page which will appear as an option when you enter the events.

Colour Powder 

The colour powder used is made from natural ingredients (mainly corn starch) and is environmentally friendly.   Competitors are asked to wear white where possible - powder may leave stains so please wear old clothes.  Sunglasses/glasses are strongly recommended to prevent powder going into eyes.  A small number of sunglasses will be available to buy on the day. 

Medical Information

Competitors must be medically fit to enter the runs.  Jay's Aim would encourage all competitors to attend a cardiac screening before entering this event.  More details about cardiac screenings can be found on our website: https://www.jaysaim.co.uk/screening
