The Albion Foundation hosted its annual "Blind" Dave Heeley Colour Run at Sandwell Valley Country Park on Saturday, with a record number of guests in attendance.
Over 500 members of the local community were welcomed to walk or run a three or five kilometre race as part of the SHAPE Youth Summer Fest celebrations in West Bromwich.
The day brought in plenty of donations to continue the Foundation's essential community work, and Director Jonathan Ward says that it was a "really incredible day" for all involved.
"We're here today to raise crucial funds for The Albion Foundation," Ward said. "More importantly we're bringing 500 people together from our local community to run three or five kilometre, or even just simply walking.
"We have six paint stations out there to cover people in colour, and the weather's been fantastic today too. It's about the fantastic work that we do in our local community, but also to say thank you to Dave for everything he does for us.
"We've had participants from our MJPL programme, from our Girls Game Programme and our Fit Baggies sessions join us today. It doesn't matter about your ability or your age, you can still take part.
"It's been a wonderful day."
For fundraising-extraordinaire "Blind" Dave, he was extremely pleased with the turnout at Sandwell Valley in support of the Foundation.
He said: "It's been the best yet. There's over 500 people here today and everyone's here, from ladies, kids, fast runners, slow runners, walkers - everyone's covered in colour.
"The weather has made the day too. It's been fantastic, here's to next year, everyone's supporting the Foundation and that's what it's all about."
