CHESTER’S brightest and messiest event is back for 2022.

The Hospice of the Good Shepherd has joined Oliver & Co Solicitors again to bring the 2022 Foamtastic Colour Blast to Chester Racecourse on Sunday, October 9.

The event is an untimed fun run around Chester Racecourse, where hundreds of people will run, walk, hop, skip or jump to the finish line. Participants get to join in with a huge paint throw to kick start the event, pass through paint stations and a fun foam bubble pit before crossing the finish line and collecting a finishers medal.

Kay Cook from Oliver & Co Solicitors said “It’s been our pleasure to sponsor the Foamblast since it began five years ago. A fun-filled family event raising essential funds for such a worthy cause, who wouldn’t want to get colourful for our local Hospice?

The Foamtastic Colour Blast in aid of the Hospice of the Good Shepherd returns to Chester Racecourse later this year.

"The events themselves are a joy to be involved with, the atmosphere is like nothing else! If you haven’t run the Foamblast before then sign up – it’s a great event for all ages, Oliver & Co Solicitors are delighted to be this year’s sponsor again."

Nicola Suggitt, Hospice event fundraiser, added: “We’re so excited to be holding the event again this year in partnership with Oliver & Co Solicitors. Last year over 500 people took part in the Foamtastic Colour Blast and raised thousands of pounds for the Hospice.

"You can run on your own, as a family, with friends or colleagues as a way to support the Hospice, or take part in memory of someone who has brought colour into your life.”
