Run or Dye Colour 5km Series hits Aintree

There is still time left for you to join the fun this Saturday 20 September as Run or Dye, the world’s most colourful 5km, makes a splash in Aintree Liverpool. Join the already 2,500 Liverpudlians who plan to live life in colour and embrace the explosions of colourful dye in full force.
 
Be a part of the action this weekend as volunteers blast custom-coloured showers of safe, eco-friendly, plant-based cornstarch dye at a minimum of five Dye Stations around the Aintree course. Through the finish line participants can take part in the Run or Dye world-famous Dye Festival where they “Tie-Dye the Sky" with an explosion of colours.
 
“We are thrilled to come to Liverpool with the Run or Dye series,” said Jake Ackerman, founder and CEO of Viral Events. “One of our core values is to give back to every community we partner with. To this end, we are speaking to a number of charities with a view to donating a portion of the event’s proceeds. However, if there’s a charity out there that shares our vision we’d love to hear from them.”
 
Run or Dye takes place in 150 cities around the world where thousands of participants line up in white running gear, tutus, or dressed head to toe in fancy dress ready to take on the 5km challenge.
 
With races previously taking place in York, Cheshire and the Republic of Ireland, the run has seen thousands of people from all walks (and runs) of life participate in the 5km. From parents and children to professionals and students the events have seen entries dance or run their way around the most colourful 5km.
 
Run or Dye draws its inspiration from the ancient Hindu festival of Holi, also known as the “Festival of Colours.” During the Holi Festival, people gather, sing, dance, play, chase and colour one another with powder to celebrate the triumph of good over bad, bridge social gaps and renew sweet relationships. In the same fashion the Give Love World Tour aims to encourage its participants to celebrate life, friendship, fitness and fun in full colour.
 
With huge demand expected early sign up is encouraged but entries will also be available on the day, this will however incur additional administrative fees.  Don’t miss out get your place now at: uk.runordye.com
