It’s chaotic, it’s colourful and it’s back with some brand new features – the Wessex Cancer Trust’s Rainbow Run-Bubble Fun 2023 returns to the Isle of Wight County Showground in Northwood on Sunday 25th June.
Now in its fifth year, the 3km family fun run is getting a shake-up with a brand new video game theme. Giant inflatables, powder paint and foam blasters will be joined by video game-themed obstacles, so you can take on the run as your favourite gaming character. And the fun doesn’t stop there. This year there’s also a new entertainment village, featuring live music. Keep an eye on Wessex Cancer Trust’s website and social media for more announcements.
Laura Haytack, Wessex Cancer Trust’s Regional Fundraiser for the Isle of Wight, says Rainbow Run has established itself as the Island’s happiest 3K:
“It’s the perfect summer event for everyone; whether you want to compete against friends or colleagues, or you fancy a fun-filled afternoon with the family helping each other through the obstacles. However you take on Rainbow Run, you’ll leave with a huge smile on your face!
“Since it started, Rainbow Run has raised more than £100,000 for Island families living with cancer. Covid-19 put a huge pressure on cancer services, and we know people are still living with missed diagnoses and delays in treatment. We’ve experienced an increasing demand for our services and your support means we can continue to be here for Islanders when they need us most.”
This year’s Rainbow Run is kindly sponsored by Wightfibre, which is committed to building a full-fibre broadband network across the Island.
There are timeslots at 11:00, 11:45, 14:00 and 14:45.
There’s a minimum fundraising goal of £50 per person and you can set up a JustGiving page at www.justgiving.com. Under 16s must be accompanied by a registered adult.
