The Color Run, which has a reputation as the world’s happiest and most colourful 5km, touches down in the city’s Titanic Quarter on August 24th. Ulster players Paddy Wallace, Tom Court, Craig Gilroy and Chris Henry took part in the shoot in support of Stand Up to Cancer, the event’s official charity campaign partner.
The Color Run is a one-of-a-kind event that is less about speed and more about enjoying a colour crazy day with your friends and family. Thousands of runners of all shapes, sizes and speeds will start the run wearing white clothing, a blank canvas for the kaleidoscope of colours they will encounter around the course. At each kilometre a different colour of powder is thrown in the air with the runners becoming a constantly evolving artwork. This month will see the event make its debut on the shores of Ireland and places are still available at www.thecolorrun.co.uk/Belfast
