UEA Colour Run 2024

Saturday 18 May 2024, 11am - 2pm

Register in the Square (outside SU bar)

Enjoy a more colourful run with UEA Sport!

Come join us for this year's Colour Run!

Is your usual run becoming a bit samey?  Fancy a bit more ‘colour’ during your run?  Then this event is for you!  Starting from the Square, going around the meadow and past the Ziggurats and back to outside the LCR to finish (or twice if you fancy it!).  

The event is open to everyone and we endeavour to make it as accessible as possible. If you require further information or assistance, please email studentsport@uea.ac.uk. 

 

Fancy a FREE t-shirt?  Sign up to join our fantastic team of volunteers for the event.

  • The deadline to claim your free event ticket or t-shirt is 12:00pm on Friday 17th May (if you don't get a ticket you can still turn up and register on the day)!  There will be a limited number of t-shirts to buy on the day for £5.00 or for 1,000 UEA+Moves points.
