Event overview

The most colourful fun run in Brum is back!

New 2.5K route! Half the route, just as fun. Perfect for mini rainbow rushers.

Welcome to Birmingham’s Rainbow Rush – the most colourful fun run in Brum you’ll ever experience! 

Come to Cofton Park for a day filled with a kaleidoscope of colour, foam, dance zones, inflatables, music and laughter all in support of Birmingham Hospice. 

Get ready to be doused in a rainbow of colours as you journey through a 2.5km or 5km fun-filled course.

On the big day, you can arrive from 9.30am to soak up the vibrant atmosphere and enjoy live music, delicious food, face-painting and photo opportunities, before we start our Zumba-style warm-up and kick off the event with a paint throw from 11am.

On the course, you’ll pass through colour and fun stations before sliding your way to the finish line where you can collect your medal and celebrate! 

Together, we can paint the town with colour, love, laughter and support for Birmingham Hospice, and make every moment matter for local people living with a terminal illness.
