Bubble Rush fun run to be held at Kettering's Wicksteed Park
The 5k course at Wicksteed Park will feature four bubble stations along the route that pump out thousands of multicoloured bubbles.
The four stations produce coloured bubbles matching the station colour – yellow, green, blue and pink – which create non-toxic coloured bubbles.

Shelley Green, Cransley Hospice’s fundraising development manager for community and events, said: “The Bubble Rush is the perfect day out for all the family and is suitable for all levels of fitness.
“It’s not a race, there are no prizes for the first to finish so you can take on the course at your own pace as you run, walk, or even dance through thousands of colourful bubbles.
“The event village will provide you with a fun warm-up, music, stalls to look around, plus a choice of food and drinks all whilst raising money for Cransley Hospice.”

Hide AdThe Bubble Rush is a real family event with those in pushchairs and wheelchairs more than welcome to attend, although dogs are not allowed.
It is a new event to add to Cransley Hospice’s already diverse events portfolio which also includes skydives, a new swimming event, Swim for Cransley in April and the popular annual Cransley Hospice Road Races in September.
These fundraising events are an exciting way for people to raise money for their local hospice which this year needs to raise £1.4m to be able to continue to provide free-of-charge specialist palliative care to patients in north Northamptonshire, both in the hospice and also through the hospice at home service.
To make their support go further, participants can also collect sponsorship from friends and family for the hospice on top of their event entry fees.
