Inspired by the Hindu festival of Holi, also known as the Festival of Colours or the Festival of Love, Run or Dye gives runners and walkers the opportunity to take part in an event which celebrates life, love, friendship and fun.
Holi signifies the victory of good over evil and in the Braj region of India, where the Hindu deity Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated for 16 days.
The Run or Dye event, which was held at Scone Palace, was supported by PKAVS.
The charity provided volunteers to help with the event, keeping it fun, safe and colourful for all involved.
They also fielded teams of runners to help raise funds to support their work in the community advancing the lives of thousands of disadvantaged people.
