Fun runs
In fun runs there's no pressure to be the fastest as it's about the experience itself. Short and easy with plenty of extra entertainment, fun runs are ideal for kids and adults to get active in a low pressure environment.
The distances can be anything from a few hundred metres up to 5km and, in this computer game age, it's a great opportunity for a real-life outdoor adventure for all. There's no limit to what can be included. You'll find plumes of colour powder, dog jogs, family events for kids of all ages, and tough game show style obstacles. The clue's in the name: it's all about the fun, for all ages and ability levels.
FINDING THE FUN RUN FOR YOU
On the road, trails, and more
Even on tarmac, fun runs typically steer clear of any major traffic. Trails and multi-terrain can add to the fun, too. Each listing has symbols for the surface types.
