The Cubico Colour Run is set to take place in Haverhill on Monday, 4 May 2026, offering residents a fun way to support local charity REACH Community Projects. The event will be held at East Town Park from 10:30am to 2pm, featuring a 5K route where participants are doused in coloured powder at various stations.
Organised in collaboration with the Haverhill Running Club, the run is designed to be a non-competitive, family-friendly event. Participants of all ages and abilities are encouraged to walk, jog, or run the course, which is intended to focus on community spirit rather than speed.
The event is being sponsored by Cubico Sustainable Investments, a renewable energy company that operates a solar project in nearby Broxted. The colour stations along the route are supported by the Culina Group, a food and drink logistics provider.
All proceeds from the event will go directly toward supporting the foodbank and debt advice services provided by REACH. Founded by Henry Wilson in 2005, the charity is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Last year alone, the organisation supported over 4,880 individuals, distributed more than 1,000 food parcels, and helped local families secure £1.4 million in additional income.
In addition to the run, the day will feature music from the Disco Kitchen, a warm-up session involving Zumba and Clubbercise, and food vendors including The Little Pizza Oven, HitWrap, and Cara’s Coffee. Other local organisations supporting the day include Haverhill Town Council, the Sunflower SEND Hub, and the Haverhill Baby Bank.
