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.
