Described as the first of its kind anywhere ("a magical hybrid"), this charity fun run is also part silent disco. The Silent Disco Dash is taking place on May 22 at the Hop Farm in Kent, UK. The event is being put on by British breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! and is curated by BBC Radio DJ Greg James.
Participants can choose to run 5k or 10k as Greg James hosts, essentially doing a radio show directly into their ears. Other guest DJs will also be there. Along with your friends, you bring your headphones to the charity fun run where live tunes are broadcast directly to you as you run, walk or dance your way through the course.
