I am working for Tesco at the moment and they have opened up their staff Race for Life to male colleagues, so am going to sign up I think, Wednesday 11th July in Welwyn, do I have to wear pink?

There’s nowt wrong with pink. 👚You can run in whatever you feel like or are comfortable in and no-one here’s going to bat an eyelid. 😀 Non runners think we’re all bonkers anyway, but they don’t understand the buzz we get from this! 🙂

Good luck with Race for Life, you go for it!!

Most definitely pink, stay with the theme. Embrace your feminine side :) :)

No! Pink is not a bad colour 👚However is there a colour for the men specifically ? Anyway any colour will do I’m sure but a pink tutu might be cool hee! hee! 😀😀

I didn't know they allowed men. When I did c25k a couple of years back I wanted to take part and was told no, the organisers and their sponsors do not want men. To be frank I took the hump with that frankly quite sexist stand point and have lacked interest in the event because of it. They still say as much here raceforlife.cancerresearchu...

so yes very surprised your welcomed into, but good luck and I would wear pink of course :)

It is only because I am working for Tesco and this is a special event for staff, I have to say I have never really understood why men are not welcomed.

Oh I see. In that case I'd wear sainsburys orange ;)

This is brilliant!! I've long thought that it's a bit unfair that Race for Life don't include men. In fact that's what lead to a few of us doing the Edinburgh Moon Walk, who accept both, albeit the men are still expected to walk in a bra!

Good on you and good luck on the day!

You must wear pink. And a tutu. It’s the law.

Not what you're looking for?
