On Sunday September 29th at the TD Waterhouse stadium, Londoners are invited to join MADD London, Western Students and Alumni for the Western "FEAR THE PURPLE" Colour Run 5k. That's right.....when it comes to a colour run....we believe the only colours that count are Purple & White (and maybe a couple more)!

How It Works
First of all, the day is about having fun for the whole family!
- Get to the starting line and get ready to have the time of your life
- Everyone gets splashed right purple and white from the start (just outside the stadium) at the starting line, just to get the Western feeling
- Bring your friends, your frenemies, anyone that wants to be part of your new family
- Start your run/walk along the course, once you reach checkpoints prepare to have more colour added to complete your masterpiece
- At the finish line, everyone can officially state they are part of the Purple and White
You are the canvas, so let's show London why people FEAR THE PURPLE!! (in a good fun way)

Race Kit Pickup: Important Update
You have spoken and we have listened!
With most of the runners being students we have changed the race kit pickup to a campus location to make it easier for you to pick up your packets.
Still, keep checking this site and your bi-weekly newsletter for news about Runners Choice specials, training groups and races. Run London and Runners Choice share a mutual goal.....to get people active, and have them appreciate the benefits of walking and running. www.runnerschoice.on.ca
