Luton Foodbank’s much-loved Colour Run returns on Saturday 4th July.

Join us in Wardown Park to run, jog, or walk the 5km route while being showered with coloured powder. It’s great fun for all the family, and by getting sponsored (optional) you’ll be helping us ensure no-one in Luton goes hungry.

Can’t take part? Please consider supporting the event by donating via the form below.

About The Run

The course: Participants make their way around a 5km course, while being showered with brightly coloured powder by foodbank volunteers.
Who can take part: It’s an event for all the family, with an emphasis on fun over athletic prowess. So if running isn’t your thing, it’s fine to walk! (But if you like a challenge, the event record is 26 minutes.)
Spectators welcome: Come along and cheer for the runners, then gather on the green behind the museum for the prizegiving.

Suggested fundraising

£200 for 10 Adult Food Parcels.
£150 for 10 Child Food Parcels.

Participants are encouraged to help feed Luton by getting sponsored.

As the summer holidays approach, many local families face an extra challenge: children who receive free school meals during term time still need to eat during the six-week break. That's why this year's Colour Run is so important. If each runner could raise just £50 in sponsorship, together we'd provide more vital food parcels to help local families through the holidays.
