Get ready to run the rainbow!
The Deafblind UK Rainbow Run is back on Sunday 6 September 2026! And, this year the inclusive family-friendly event is set to be an even bigger explosion of colourful fun!
Gather friends and family and join the energetic atmosphere alongside hundreds of fellow rainbow runners, jogging, walking or wheeling their way around a 3K or 5K course.
Along the way, the colourful mayhem will build as you pass through clouds of brightly-coloured powder paint at each of our colour stations before reaching the finish line as a multi-coloured masterpiece!
By taking part in the Deafblind UK Rainbow Run, you’ll be helping Deafblind UK to continue supporting children and adults of all ages who are living with dual sensory loss.
This event is deafblind-friendly - We have a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, Lipspeaker, and venue guides on hand to ensure that everyone can enjoy the Rainbow Run as accessibly as possible.
