here's the idea...
Come along wearing a white t-shirt (and running gear you don’t mind getting messy) and you will leave with a smile on your face and every colour of the rainbow!
You’ll run through stations of colour where you will be showered with different coloured powder paints.
You don't have to be an Olympic athlete; a reasonable level of fitness will get you round the 5km route, with a lot of laughter helping you along the way.
fun and laughter
Rainbow Run is not a race, nor is it about speed or fitness; it’s about celebration, having crazy fun with friends and raising a smile for your Tŷ Hafan.
Tŷ Hafan is a magical place, full of fun and laughter and not what you might imagine a hospice to be. We aim to make the very most of the precious time that our children and families have together. That’s why we think that the Rainbow Run is the perfect way to celebrate and support the work we do.
don’t delay, book your place today, as these events will be full.
