The Colour Run

This family friendly day combining running, getting covered in colour and raising money for good causes takes over the Etihad Stadium for a day in July.

It's an untimed race for thousands of people, so it doesn't matter what level you're at, the emphasis is about having a good time. At each kilometer, you'll be doused awith a different colour until you liike like a rainbow flag by then end.

The aim? To celebrate health, happiness, giving back (some of the money raised goes to charities such as the NSPCC) and individuality.

Entry is by ticket only, so if you want to run until you're quite literally blue in the face, get booking pronto.
