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

The optician is the key partner for the KM Colour Run, which will be at Betteshanger Country Park, Deal, on Sunday, June 9.

Adults can take advantage of a £5 reduction when using the discount code SpecsaversVIP.

The event sees 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.”

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 under fours 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.
