A school is hosting a vibrant colour run in a bid to raise money for new changing rooms.
On July 17, nearly 1,000 students and 200 staff members at Ringwood School are set to take part in the 3.5-mile run on the grounds.
Along the way, they will be showered with coloured powder at five different stations, leaving them "covered head to toe in a rainbow of happiness by the finish line."
The school is taking care to ensure the powder is non-toxic and eco-friendly, and a clean-up team will tidy up after the event.
"It’s a fantastic way to unite our school community, promote fitness and fun, and raise funds for much-needed improvements to changing facilities for our students."

The school is seeking volunteers to marshal the event and ensure the safety of participants.
Anyone interested can contact scoombes@ringwood.hants.sch.uk.
This year, the event is supported by Anytime Fitness, who will provide medals and lead warm-up sessions.
Elliot Burton, club manager, said: "We are delighted to be involved in this fantastic event for the community in Ringwood."
