Can I register a team?

add remove

You can purchase multiple tickets through the registration form.

If you would like to Fundraise through one team page, you can change the URL to the fundraising page you recieved at registation and you and your team can share this with family and friends.

If your team mates would like to fundraise individually you can assign these tickets to your team mates in your dashboard. This will invite the additional ticket holder to then create their own fundraising page. Please note that assigning tickets to someone will not act as their ticket, this will just prompt them to create a fundraising page. The wristbands sent by post are what is needed to enter the Colour Dash.

What do I wear on the day of Colour Dash?

add remove

Wear as much white/pale colours as you can during your Colour Dash so that the colours really stand out. Please wear old clothes and don’t wear anything you want to remain white. For bleached blonde hair, we recommend wearing a hat, as it can take a few washes for the colour to come out. 

Are buggies and scooters permitted?

add remove

Buggies are allowed on the day, however ride-ons, scooters and bikes are not permitted during the event. 

On the day

Will there be parking on the day?

There is very limited parking at the event. We advise using public transport or car-pooling where public transport is not possible. Please allow plenty of time on the morning for commuting to the event. 

How do I find the starting line?

A week or two before the event we will send you a letter with your wristbands, including a map for the day highlighting the start and finish point of the course.

Yes, the powder paint colouring used is 100% organic and natural. 

 

What do I need for the day?

add remove
It’s very important to bring the following: 

  • Wristbands (there is no access to event without them)
  • Sunscreen (factor 50)
  • Wear as much white as possible
  • Give yourself plenty of time to commute on the morning
  • Plastic bag/bin liner – as your clothes will be more colourful than when you arrived, sitting on a bag on the way home may keep your car/public transport clean

Will there be food and drinks available at the event?

add remove
There will be some snacks and drinks for sale at the Irish Cancer Society's Colour Dash.
