Let's get colourful together with the most joyful 5K you will ever take part in.
CHELTENHAM 7s FESTIVAL COLOUR RUN
The Colour Run is a chance for everyone to celebrate in true Cheltenham 7s style on Friday 19th July. The run will be fun, vibrant, joyful and crazy! It will start at 6:30pm and will be a marked 5km route around Newlands Park.
If you don’t know what a Colour Run is… it’s simple… you run, walk, skip or jump your way around our 5km course where our volunteers, your supporters and fellow runners will be throwing coloured powders in the air for you to go through.
The only rule is to finish the run plastered in as much colour as possible! Once you’ve completed the run you will be given your medal, finishers goodie bag and free pint! Then, should you wish to use them, you will have access to changing rooms and showers, or wear it like a champions badge of honour and stay plastered in your colours for the festival! We’ve got huge music acts, fully stocked bars and food, so what are you waiting for?
