Ms Adams, of Western Power Distribution, said: "I had an inkling what to expect at the launch as WPD has sponsored this fantastic event for a number of years. I certainly got a taste of the fun to be had and what to expect on Kolor Dash day, so now I'm well prepared."

She said: "St David’s Hospice Care is a fantastic charity. The pandemic has meant that charities like them have all been hit hard financially and they need even more support than usual.

"We know Kolor Dash will help to raise vital funds in a really fun and enjoyable way and hopefully provide a boost to help them carry on the fantastic work that they do seven days a week, 365 days a year, though out our community.

Organiser Beth Harrington, of St David's Hospice Care said: "Kolor Dash is brilliant fun for everyone. It's the chance to get out in the fresh air in wonderful Tredegar Park, do a bit of light exercise and get yourself and as many others totally covered in a kaleidoscope of magical colours.

"Kolor Dash is great for families and groups of mates, in fact anyone and everyone who wants to let their hair down, get plastered in powder paint and help raise funds for a very good cause."

Beth said: "I was delighted that I was able to introduce Ruth to the wonders and delights of Kolor Dash at the launch at the hospice and that she brought along WPD's Pylonman, who is no stranger to the magic of the dash. What Ruth experienced was just a taste, the real fun happens at the event."
