HUNDREDS of warm-hearted Boltonians brightened up Queens Park on Sunday at Bolton Hospice’s second annual Colour Run. 

About 500 runners created a splash of colour, with some participants running in memory of loved ones who had been treated at the hospice in their final days.

Here are 27 fantastic photographs from the colourful event, which saw people covered in powdered paint as they made their way around the 5km course.
