Rainbow Run 5k

About

Overview
This fabulous race never fails to delight and is a firm favourite in the local racing calendar. Taking place on a summer's evening, bursting with bright colours and fizzing with race day fun, it's the running event you'll return to year after year. The Rainbow Run is a chip timed race for runners 14 years and older, landing on the evening before the Brighton & Hove Pride Parade. Expect an event that combines the joy of racing and some stunning local support for finishers as they charge across the mats to uproarious cheers!

Every year, the colour of the medals change so that our returning runners can work towards collecting a full rainbow set. This year's colour is yellow! Treat yourself to a fab and fun evening in the form of this summer racing gem and we promise that you won't be disappointed!
