Next Events: 24th August (Belfast), 14th September (Brighton)

Picture
The Color Run™, also known as the Happiest 5k on the Planet, is a unique 5km, un-timed race in which thousands of participants are doused from head to toe in different colours at each kilometre. The fun continues at the finish line with a gigantic “Color Festival,” using more coloured powder to create happiness and lasting memories, not to mention millions of vivid colour combinations. Trust us, this is the best post-5k party on the planet!

Now the single largest event series on the planet, The Color Run is exploding since its debut event in January of 2012 and will grow from over 50 events and 600,000 participants in 2012, to over 100 events and over a million participants in 2013.

RACE RULES
Rule #1 All participants are welcome… fast, slow, runner, walker, old, and young.
Rule #2 White shirt dress code at the official start line and ready to roll!
Rule #3 Be completely coloured in crazy coloured madness at the finish.

Picture
There is no age limit on this run and you are welcome to bring children or grandparents along, as long as they can run, jog, walk or stroll the 3 mile route. Children aged five and under are free of charge and do not need to be registered, but they must be with an adult at all times. No animals are permitted.

Sponsorship and Registration

There is no minimum sponsorship for this event but we ask that you raise as much as you can for us!

Registration is £25-£30, depending on which location you choose to run at, plus £4.99 postage and packaging for your race pack. The race pack will contain custom race shirt and tattoo, race number, and a finisher sweat band. You will also receive a pack of colour at the finish line!

Register as a team of four or more, rather than as an individual, and you'll get to pick a groovy custom team name. You then get to run/walk together and help each other get really coloured up over the 5km route. There is no 'relay' component and team members can finish together as a unit or separately. By registering a team, you'll also save £2 per person on your registration fees.

How to Register

Picture
Click the 'Sign Up' button to go to The Color Run website, choose your race and register. Then email us to let us know what you're doing and receive your personalised sponsor forms.

Sign up as a solo runner/walker, or get together with a team of four or more. Races fill up VERY fast, so if registration for your race isn't open, make sure to get on VIP List to get notified as soon as it opens up. If you plan on racing with a team, make sure everyone on the team gets registered for updates as well, to ensure that they get their spots!
