The world’s most colourful 5km will be reaching every corner of the UK in 2015 with 15 events already confirmed and more to follow. The Run or Dye Series will start on 18 April in Manchester’s Platt Fields Park and take in locations as varied and beautiful as Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire, Castle Howard in Yorkshire and Hever Castle in Kent.
Over 10,000 people have already entered into the series of events which encourage participants to run, jog or walk to the finish line, getting covered head-to-toe in colour as they go. Four Dye Zones throughout the route at each event will ensure there’s no getting away from the all-encompassing and full-on brilliance of the most colourful 5km in the world.
In 2014 thousands of friends, family and loved ones enjoyed the Run or Dye series in the UK and are signing up to come back for more. Families ran together, couples got engaged and we even had some wedding vows getting renewed in the most colourful way possible.
Inspired by the ancient Hindu festival of Holi, also known as the ‘Festival of Colours’, Run or Dye gives runners, walkers and all speeds in-between, the opportunity to experience and celebrate in full colour the thrill of the Festival and introduce the idea of ‘living life on purpose’. Participants can run dressed in white and run ready or their favourite and most extravagant costumes. As part of registration all participants will receive a goody bag with their white t-shirt, their very own dye packs and plenty more to get geared up for the most colourful 5km ever experienced.
After crossing the finish line, runners, and spectators, can celebrate in the world famous Dye Festival as the full force of the brilliant colours are blasted all around. The explosion of dye ensures that this really is the most colourful 5km in the world!
