The Rainbow Colour Run is part of Brandon's very first family friendly Pride Day.

It's a short, family friendly colour run, with loops of a quarter of a mile. Runners or walkers are able to complete up to three loops. It'll be as fun to watch as it is to take part in!

You'll be able to buy plain white and white Pride t-shirts on the day to show off the rainbow colours to their best effect. Glasses or sunglasses must be worn to take part and you'll also be able to buy rainbow sunglasses to protect your eyes.

The Rainbow Colour Run will start with a fun group warm-up by staff from Brandon Leisure, with waves of runners then starting their run around the field. Biodegradable food quality corn starch in rainbow colours will be thrown in the air, with runners passing through the vibrant colour clouds as they run together!

Runners and walkers can choose to pass near the paint tables for maximum coverage or further away for a lighter dusting. Supporters can watch their family and friends get covered in powder paint as they run round the grass course and can buy handy paint pouches to throw in the air to add to the colourful paint cloud!

And to add even more fun, the local fire brigade will be there with a fire engine. They'll be creating a water cloud to pass through - to make the colours pop even more and stick.

At the end participants will receive a medal, with plenty of photo opportunities for individuals and groups.

You can then join in the fun of the Pride Day with lots of charity, craft and trade stalls and colourful activities such as rainbow welly wanging, rainbow hair braiding and facepainting. We've some really great live music acts with a dance area and a variety of food with a picnic area. We're supporting Ipswich based Outreach Youth, an LGBTQ+ charity.
