A special discount is available for online bookings for a popular family fundraising challenge thanks to Specsavers.

The optician is the key partner for the KM Colour Run, and adults can take advantage of a £5 reduction when use the discount code SpecsaversVIP.

The event takes place at Betteshanger Park near Deal on Sunday, June 9, with participants completing a 5km route while being covered in coloured powder.

Speaking on behalf of Specsavers in Kent, Joanna Wyndham said: “We are delighted to once again support the fantastic KM Colour Run, and are looking forward to getting covered in green powder on our Specsavers colour station.

“It is such a fantastic family event to be part of, and the fact so much is raised for a variety of Kent charities makes our involvement extra special.”

Event coordinator Dominic Comins said: “I’m so grateful to Specsavers for supporting the KM Colour Run yet again this year.

“Thanks to their generosity, even more people will be to take part in what is always such a fun and popular event, meaning even more good causes will benefit from the money raised.

“And June 9 may seem a long way off, but I would urge people to take advantage of the Specsavers discount and book their places now before the event sells out.”

Colour Run participants can use the event to raise money for any charity of their choice, with the funds generated being split 70-30 between their good causes and the KM Charity Team’s children’s road-safety services.

Without the discount code, the adult entry fee is £20. There is a flat rate of £12 for children aged four to 16, and children under four go free. Under-16s must be accompanied by adult runners.

The price includes a limited edition KM Colour Run T-shirt, sunglasses, a small bag of coloured powder and a medal on completion.
