The Color Run - "The happiest 5k on the planet" has announced two UK dates: Wembley on July 14 and Manchester on July 21.
Is anyone planning on running this?
I really want to start running and this looks like so much fun, it may convince me to start C25k asap!
Check it out!

No Scottish one? It looks great fun, but Manchester is just too long a drive. Maybe if they get a good turn out there will be more UK dates next year.0

It's coming to England-not the UK. Sorry for the rant but as an English person now living in Scotland, this sort of thing drives me mad. Why aren't they doing it in Edinburgh or Glasgow too?0

This sounds like awesome fun! but sadly i am in Aberdeen so too far away for me aswell.
I only took up running about three months ago, i absolutely love it, but i don't think i am anywhere near ready to start taking part in proper events yet! I would love to have taken part in tough mudder aswell.0 -

This! It makes me so mad when organisations advertise things as "coming to the UK" or when bands announce that they'll be including the UK in their tour, when what they actually mean is that they're coming to/touring in England. Not Scotland, Not Wales, not Ireland, just England. /end rant
Hopefully if it's a success they'll decide to include more areas next year the colour run looks so much fun! I'd love to be able to take part!0 -
We're London based but will be on holiday on the 14th July - otherwise it looks like great fun0

Steady on!
It's a common misconception by those outside the UK, that the UK is England, and to some, just London! Yes the UK is made up of not only England, but Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. So fair rant, but why not use that and complain to the company organising the event?0 -
Only if they put a "U" in "Color"0

As a previous Londoner- I confess that I too believed that London was the centre of the universe. I used to think that if you travelled to Alton Towers, you'd drop off the end of the earth. It's only now, living in Scotland that i realise how annoying this sort of thing is. Mind you, as I walk my dogs through my quaint fishing village, admiring the sea- I wouldn't go back to London for a million pounds!!0 -

With property prices as they are a million wouldn't buy you anywhere anyway!0 -

Ha ha, I'm in Gloucestershire and that would be so much more convenient if I'd heard about it before now - won't be up to speed in time for that one.0
