If you can, try to get sponsors so that we can get food parcels to even more people.
You could ask friends, family, and colleagues to sponsor you. If you work for a medium- or large-sized company, you might be surprised at how willing they can often be to make a generous corporate donation. Either way, it's important to set yourself a goal and start finding sponsors right away, because you won't want to miss your target.
Suggested fundraising
£200 for 10 Adult Food Parcels.
£150 for 10 Child Food Parcels.

PREPARATION
We recommend you get advice on how to train for your run. If you are not used to running, it's really important that you start gently, and work your way up. Try the free 
NHS Couch to 5K programme
, which has accompanying apps for Android and iPhone. 
The event is open to all, but if you're not used to this kind of activity, you should consult your doctor first.
You can get great practice by joining 
Luton Wardown Parkrun
 (5K) or 
Luton Wardown Junior Parkrun
 (2K) which are free-to-join regular Saturday morning events run by volunteers. Optionally, you can sign up on their website before going along, so you can be issued with a barcode which they use to time your run. Our Colour Run course is closely based on the Parkrun circuit, so you'll be able to get a really good idea of how your training is going.
We strongly recommend wearing only old clothes. The coloured powder should wash out nicely, but this can't be guaranteed. If driving home, we also advise bringing something to cover your car seats.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
By registering for this event, you are certifying you are medically fit to take part and that the organisers will in no way be held responsible for injury or illness during or as a result of the event.
* 
We regret that official t-shirts, sunglasses, and medals are not available to anyone who registers after 4pm on Friday 13 June.
EVENT SUPPORTERS
Luton's favourite fun run would not be possible without the generosity of these supporters. Their contributions are very much appreciated.
