A WESTER Ross community is gearing up for a colourful event as part of an ongoing 'feelgood festival' reaching a climax this weekend.

The feelgood festival colour run is taking place at the Morefield Pitch and Putt Play Park on Sunday morning.

A 2.5km or 5km course is available for all ages.

Organisers said: "You can walk, wheel, run, jog, skip, whatever you like. This is all about getting you up and active in a fun way."

The planned schedule is:

Check in/Register - 10am - 11am

Warm up - 11am - 11:20am

Run begins - 11:30 am - 1:30pm

Participants are told: "There will be 5-6 different colour stations on the course to cover you in Holi-powder as you go through.

"Wear white clothing or spooky fancy dress and bring goggles/sunglasses or something to cover your eyes."
