6. GENERAL INFORMATION
WHAT TO WEAR
At Run or DYE you’re the canvas so wear whatever you
want! Lots of runners wear white to show off all the colour
while others come dressed in crazy costumes. Just
remember, whatever you wear will get covered in
coloured DYE and while our DYE is designed to be
washable, we don’t do your laundry…. So wear
something you don’t mind getting a little colourful!
PHOTO POLICY
We want you to make memories and take pictures! Your
smartphones and point and shoot cameras are welcome!
There will also be professional photographers on the
course so remember to smile at the camera!

SAFETY
1. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER: Be sure to drink plenty of
water before, during and after the race. Runners receive a
drink at the finish line, but we strongly suggest that you
bring your own to stay hydrated before and during the event
as well.
2. USE COMMON SENSE WHEN THROWING DYE:
Don’t throw DYE directly in peoples’ faces, don’t throw DYE
at babies or at service animals and don’t throw DYE at
photographers with expensive equipment. If you see
anyone throwing DYE inappropriately please report it to a
member of staff.
3. REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR OR PEOPLE WHO
LOOK LIKE THEY NEED ASSISTANCE: Run or DYE
participants are the best on the planet and we’ve never had
any problems at any of our events. Still, if you see anyone
acting suspiciously or endangering others please report it
to a volunteer or staff member. If you happen to run past
someone who seems to be struggling or appear they need
medical assistance, let a volunteer know so that we can get
them the help they might need.
4. DO NOT LEAVE BAGS UNATTENDED: Any bags left
unattended will be immediately confiscated by event
security!
WEATHER
We will hold Run or DYE as scheduled even if it is raining!
However, our first priority is your safety and there may be
occasions – such as high wind or lightening- that will
postpone the run. If the weather looks threatening as we
lead up to the event, keep your eyes on our Facebook page
and your email for updates.

7. CHARITIES
Run or DYE is committed to leaving the world a more colourful place. We would not be a success without the help of
our charity partners who provide a small army of marshals and we would both welcome your support.
NATIONAL CHARITY PARTNER - HELP FOR
HEROES
Run or DYE welcomes HELP FOR HEROES as their National Charity Partner.
Their mission is to deliver an enduring national network of support for our
wounded and their families. They want to inspire and enable those who have
made sacrifices on our behalf to achieve their full potential. The war in
Afghanistan may be over, but for those who have suffered life-changing
injuries, their battles are just beginning.
They have estimated that, of the 220,560 individuals deployed to Afghanistan
and Iraq between 2001 and 2014, up to 75,000 servicemen and women (and
their families) may need their support in the future. Help for Heroes will not let
them fight these battles alone.
Donate via TEXT MESSAGE! Text HERO to 70900!
You will be charged £5 plus your standard network rate and the full £5 will go to Help for
Heroes. Mobile Text Telephone helpline - 01494 750 500.
LOCAL CHARITY PARTNER –
DEVON AIR AMBULANCE TRUST
Devon Air Ambulance Trust raises the funds to keep two helicopters flying in
Devon. Independent of Government funding, operating costs of the service
are met by public fundraising/donations. Paramedics are provided by South
Western Ambulance Services NHS Foundation Trust, supported in part by
the Charity. It costs in the region of £4.5 million each year to keep both
helicopters flying, and in 2016 the service will extend its flying hours to fly into
the night. This is an exciting next step and means that Devon will get an even
better Air Ambulance service.

IN ASSOCIATION WITH – THIS GIRL CAN
Fear of judgment is stopping many of us from taking part in exercise. But,
as thousands of women up and down the country are proving, it really
doesn’t have to. This Girl Can is a national campaign developed by Sport
England and a wide range of partnership organisations. It's a celebration
of active women up and down the country who are doing their thing no
matter how well they do it, how they look or even how red their face gets!
YOU ARE NOW READY TO RUN OR DYE!
