Simply amazing - Rainbow Colour Run helps highlight the work of Pathways to Opportunities

The spectacular fun day was held at Melrose playing fields in Chadderton

Oldham-based Pathways to Opportunities staged its first Rainbow Colour Run, and in turn raised lots of money on what proved to be an 'amazing' day.

The spectacular fun day was held at Melrose playing fields in Chadderton, helped along by locally-based entertainer, Scott Cooper.

Zumba Instructor Siobhan Batchelor was also on hand to start the event off with a hugely popular warm-up session.

Everyone involved then started the race and had lots of fun with the coloured powder.

This was a very inclusive event for all disabilities, and most of all, lots of fun!

Organisers don't have a total amount of cash raised yet as they are still collecting the sponsor money.
