Colourful and unique running event returns to Newcastle

A 5K colourful running event will be returning to Newcastle this summer, to the delight of Newcastle residents.

Colour Obstacle Rush is an incredibly popular event, and the people of Newcastle are happy to see it return to the city.

So far, 1.6 thousand Facebook users have marked themselves as “interested” in the event. 141 people have marked themselves as “going”.

The event is dubbed as “The Funnest Run on Earth”, due to its uniqueness, setting itself apart from usual 5K runs.

At Colour Obstacle Rush, runners are tasked with overcoming exciting obstacles, while also coming across colour stations, frothing foam and music zones.

On their website, Colour Obstacle Rush describes the run as “a unique event combining the fun of colour powdered runs, the thrill of an obstacle course, and the atmosphere of a music festival.”

Brand-new for the 2023 tour of Colour Obstacle Rush is an after-party that runners can attend, letting their hair down after the run. The after-party will take place in Colour Obstacle Rush’s Event Village, which will have drinks, food and other fun activities.

The 2023 tour begins in May, before arriving in Newcastle on June 10. The event will be held at Newcastle Racecourse.  The event will start at 9am, and run until 12pm.

Tickets prices are £34.90 for the first 3000 people, or until January 26. After that date, the prices will increase. The standard ticket price after all of the early admission dates is £59.90. To buy a ticket and to find out more information, please visit here.
