We're so excited to bring back our Colour Run in 2026!

Celebrate World Autism Month, add a splash of colour to your day and get your running shoes on to support our autistic community! This event will be held on Sunday 26th April 2026 in Stormont Estate, Belfast. This will be a fun-filled, inclusive event for all ages and abilities, so get involved for a day of celebration and laughter.

This is not a competitive event and it is a FUN RUN, so you can go at your own pace!

The route is just under 2 miles in total. The route is includes a run up the iconic Prince of Wales Avenue to Carson Statue and back down the mall.

Please note for this event we would recommend wearing a white or pale coloured t-shirt, but this is not essential (participants can wear whatever they are comfortable in) as our volunteers will be adding splashes of colour to your garments as you complete the run/walk.

Registration: £5 per Adult, Children are FREE (Under 16)

Sponsorship target: £75 per family.

Every penny raised helps us continue providing invaluable services for autistic people across Northern Ireland.

Terms and conditions apply (see below for details).
