What to Expect

The Rainbow Run 5K is more than a run - it’s a full family-fun day and community experience.

The event includes two waves: an adults-only starting from at 12:30, followed by a family run starting from 1:30.

Participants can complete one 2.5k loop or the full 5k course by completing all obstacles twice.

This is non-competitive fun - it's your race - you can do it your way! Run, jog, walk. Do every obstacle or just the ones you fancy - it's about giving it a go and pushing yourself.

Participants will enjoy:

A purpose‑built assault course, including the UK’s longest inflatable slide!

High‑energy music zones

A dynamic group warm‑up

Medals & photo finish

A festival‑style finish area with food, entertainment, local business market-stalls and space to unwind

All participants will receive full fundraising support from our expert charity fundraisers! Please reach out if you have any questions about fundraising support.

All money raised for Richmond's Hope will fund free bereavement support for Children and Young People in the community.

We can't wait to see you there!
