Do you have a baggage drop?

Am I allowed to wear headphones?
We'd strongly advise against it - the nature of the event means that you need to be aware of your surroundings and be able to hear marshals instructions.
What do I get at the end of the race?
Every runner will receive a medal, t-shirt (for those who book in time) and goodie bag at the finish line, packed with tasty treats and a little celebratory tipple to reward your efforts…
Where can I find my results after the event?
Your results will be published on the website.

A chance for all children to get involved and get a medal! We encourage children to run laps of a circuit whilst powder paint is thrown onto the t-shirts of the children - hence the term ‘rainbow run’. Check out the rainbow run page for more information and buy tickets
