Having been brought to Lowestoft for the first time last year, the East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH) colour dash returned to Normanston Park earlier today.

The increasingly popular events have been taking place across the region since 2014 and consist of participants undertaking a two-mile run while being showered with clouds of powdered paint.

Hundreds gathered at the park this morning for the vibrant fun run, proceeds from which go straight to the charity's ongoing Nook appeal.

The dash was sponsored by the Robinsons Volkswagen of Lowestoft.
