The Color Run on Brighton seafront: foam, powder paint and the happiest 5K down Madeira Drive, September 2017.

Brighton got its full story the day we ran The Color Run, "the happiest 5K on the planet", along the seafront on 23 September 2017. Thousands of white T-shirts set off down Madeira Drive and came back looking like a paint factory had sneezed on them.

The full Brighton story is still coming, there is a lot more of this city to tell.
