Sutton Beast Big Colour Blast for Breast Cancer Now

The fun started with some top tunes from the resident DJ and a warm-up by Sam Godfrey before an explosion of colour set everyone on their way around the crazy course - armed with their own pack of coloured powder to throw as they went.

There were three 'blast' stations to negotiate, where everyone was covered by a hail of colour by on-course 'powder ninjas'.

The runners then went on to negotiate some tricky assault-course-like obstacles to complete the route.

Many of the participants went around again and again and were barely recognisable when they had finished.

The event was hosted by ITV's Donovan Blake and was supported by local businesses. 

These included FTR Suspension (head sponsor), Cheffins, Bretts Transport, Treetops Soft Play and GVS - Godfrey's Vehicle Services.

Event organiser, Martin Pickering, said: "We couldn’t have wished for it to have gone any better.

"Everyone entered into the spirit of it, resulting in total colour carnage and loads of fun.

"Also we are delighted to have raised a good sum for our chosen charity Breast Cancer Now, which means a lot to our organising team who have been closely affected by the disease."

He added that the money raised is enough to help 10 people affected by breast cancer get answers by calling the charity's free helpline; no question is too big or too small, and all calls are answered by breast care nurses and trained staff.

It will also pay for somebody with secondary breast cancer to attend a 'Living with Secondary Breast Cancer' face-to-face group. These support people by giving them expert information and a space to meet others who are going through the same thing.
