Just been talked into doing the London one of these - it will be my first run of week 9. (Maybe a bit over-ambitious but if I need to walk the last bit, I need to walk the last bit)

I am preferring to see it not as a run, more as a lifelong ambition of becoming a rainbow. Anyone else up for it? We could have a C25K clique.

I'm really pleased these are coming to the UK - I've seen stuff about the US ones and thought they looked such good fun! If one happens near me in the future, I'd definitely go for it! :)

I live in Belgium and did one 2 weeks ago in Holland. It is fantastic fun and don't worry too much about the running side of it. There are so many people that you end up queuing to be splashed with paint, so you will have a bit of a rest every KM. The emphasis is on FUN rather than RUN, and the more people you do it with the more fun you have. Enjoy it and I hope you get more people signed up :)

I really fancy this! Sounds totally mad! How do you get clean before going home on the train? They may make me walk home!
