Good afternoon/evening and Happy Tuesday. I’ve got something a little different on my blog this morning, some information about an event I’ve always wanted to take part in, the Color Run. Hopefully my niggly right knee will allow me to take part in the London event.
The happiest 5km on the planet – The Color Run™ – is back for 2020. With a theme of Make Magic, the global phenomenon has four dates in the UK for the dreamers, believers, and magic-makers who want to add some real colour to their lives.
The Color Run will be held in Cardiff and Leeds for the very first time, with London and Manchester completing the quartet of events across September. All events start at 11am.
The full schedule is:
Now in its eighth year, The Color Run organisers are guaranteeing participants, whether it’s their first time or not, that they will make magic, make memories, and make more together.
Prepare for a rainbow of fun with family, friends or colleagues as you shake and shimmer your way along the 5km route – with a guaranteed colour explosion at every kilometre – followed by a huge colour throwing party at the finish line where you can dance off any extra energy to some cool DJ tunes.
Race director for The Color Run UK, Alan Brown said: “The Color Run has enormous appeal – more than seven million people across 50 countries have experienced this incredible event – and we can’t wait to bring The Color Run to these four major cities. We’re especially looking forward to the new locations of Cardiff and Leeds.
“The Color Run isn’t about the time you take to complete it or how far it is, it’s about having the most amazing time and getting those pristine whites at the start plastered in colour by the end. Everyone has a huge grin on their face at the finish line, which is where the fun really gets going!
“There is a real party atmosphere from start to finish and you can see it what people wear as well as they really go to town. We see all kinds of crazy outfits while The Color Run has branded wigs, hair dyes, tutus, headbands and socks for those that want to be dressed for the most colourful event of the year.
“There have been many imitations, but this is the original The Color Run, and we really go to town so that it is perfect for everyone who takes part.”
Registration for this year’s events is now open with discounted prices for those who sign up now. For groups of 10 or more prices start from £18, for groups of four-to-nine they start from £20 and individual entries are from £23. Sign up online here.
