Overview
This spellbinding race never fails to delight and is a firm favourite in the racing calendar. Taking place on a summer's evening, bursting with bright colours and fizzing with race day magic, 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 sizzles with 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 years colour is orange!
Treat yourself to a tonic for the soul in the form of this summer racing gem and we promise that you won't be disappointed!

There are over one hundred FrontRunners clubs around the world, each as diverse as the many locations they are found in, and this wonderful club is incredibly happy to represent Brighton & Hove.
