STUDENTS at a Hampshire college took part in a colour run to prove 'This Girl Can'.

The event at Barton Peveril College saw young athletes making their way round a challenging course - while being covered with fluorescent paint.

Run by This Girl Can ambassadors - whose role it is to get more girls taking part in sport - the event raised money for charity in the process - with a total of £130 going towards Sport Relief.

PE teacher Alix Christopher said: "The rain certainly didn't dampen the spirits of the ‘This Girl Can’ ambassadors today. I'm so pleased they managed to carry out the event and proud of their determination to make physical activity fun for as many people as possible. The students and staff who took part had a great time and it was really lovely to be involved.”
