Following on from the huge success of the King's Lynn Bubble Rush in 2018... it's back and bigger for 2019! The course starts in a sea of bubbles and features four Bubble Stations along the route. Each Bubble Station has a cannon which pumps out coloured foam to create a 4ft deep bubble bath!
There are two wave times for you to choose from:?
· Purple Wave - 11am (arrive from 10am)
· Orange wave - 12pm (arrive from 11am)
Every course is family friendly, so you can run, jog, walk, dance or toddle through the foam. Pushchairs and wheelchairs are more than welcome
The events are not timed, so you’re not racing anyone – the most important thing is that you enjoy your time in the bubbles and finish with a big smile on your face! Bubblers do it for fun with friends and children – and everyone gets a medal at the end!
All proceeds to East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH)
