The popular Color Run is back with a bang! Set to take place on November 10, this year's event has teamed up with UAE charity Friends of Cancer Patients to 'give love to unsung heroes on the eve of this year's event'. A portion of every registration will be donated to the FoCP. Moreover, the collaborative campaign is encouraging people to nominate heroes in their lives. You can do this by posting a picture of the both of you together, stating why they are your hero, tagging The Color Run's social media handles and using the hashtag #TCRHero. Five winners (and their nominators) will receive a Deluxe Color Run pack. For more information or registrations, go to www.thecolorrun.ae.
