The much-loved Kolor Dash is making a vibrant return to Newport, and this time it promises to be bigger, brighter and more colourful than ever. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Tredegar Park, this lively 5K event invites participants of all ages to run, walk or jog their way through a truly unforgettable experience. Clouds of biodegradable powder paint will fill the air at multiple points along the route, transforming runners into moving bursts of colour, while music and entertainment keep the energy high from start to finish.

But the Kolor Dash is more than just a fun day out. The event proudly supports St David’s Hospice Care, giving participants the chance to make a real difference while enjoying the celebrations. Along the course, expect everything from foam-filled fun at the start and finish to refreshing water sprays and a high-energy disco tunnel that brings a party atmosphere to the park. With a DJ setting the tone and music stations dotted along the route, the event is as much about entertainment as it is about fitness.

Open to families, friends and individuals alike, the Kolor Dash is designed to be inclusive, welcoming everyone to take part at their own pace. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or simply soaking up the atmosphere, the focus is firmly on fun. Participants are encouraged to wear white to make the most of the colourful experience, and every finisher will be rewarded with a commemorative medal and refreshments at the end.

Taking place with registration from midday and the run beginning at 1pm, the circular 5K route starts and finishes within the park, making it easy for spectators to join in the excitement. With convenient parking options available nearby, including at the Intellectual Property Office, it’s set to be a smooth and enjoyable day for all involved. And for those looking to go the extra mile, fundraising adds another rewarding layer, with exclusive event T-shirts available to participants who reach their sponsorship target.

Whether you’re coming for the cause, the colour or the community spirit, Kolor Dash 2026 is shaping up to be one of Newport’s most exciting events of the year — a celebration of fun, fitness and fundraising all rolled into one spectacular day.
