Rainbow Run returns to Cornwall for 11th year
A popular charity fun run is set to return this summer.
Taking place at RAF St Mawgan, Newquay, the Rainbow Run Cornwall on June 21 is in aid of Children's Hospice South West (CHSW).
The event, now in its 11th year, has collaborated with Penryn-based business Kernow Coatings, which is the new main sponsor.
Participants aged five and over can join the 5km run, walking or running through eight different paint stations.
Last year, the event saw more than 1,500 participants raise a record-breaking £114,000 for CHSW's Little Harbour children's hospice in St Austell.
CHSW event fundraiser Kiley Pearce said: "It is incredible that Rainbow Run is still attracting so many participants of all ages after 11 years.
"Alongside families making memories with their children, we see fitness groups and clubs taking part together, businesses using the day as a team-builder, and friends using it as an opportunity for a fun day out.
"What is so special is that the event continues to grow in terms of the sponsorship raised, which is down to the dedication and commitment of those taking part, who understand that by participating, they're supporting their local children's hospice.
"We thank RAF St Mawgan for allowing us to return each year to use the venue as the home of Rainbow Run."
Tickets are now on sale, with a 30 per cent early-bird discount for a limited time.
Participants are encouraged to raise £25 in sponsorship individually, or £70 as a family, and every finisher will receive a Rainbow Run medal.
Super-duper early-bird tickets are £14 for adults and £7 for children and are available until April 2.
Little Harbour supports more than 130 families from across Cornwall and Plymouth through day visits, resilience stays at the hospice, home visits, and virtual support.
It costs around £3 million a year to run Little Harbour, which relies almost entirely on voluntary donations.

New venture for Up the Garden Bath
Award winning Peterborough-based charity Up The Garden Bath says it is proud to introduce Goal2Grow, a new community focused fundraising initiative. Instead of asking for money, the innovative organisation is encouraging people to donate their pre-loved football kits. Whether it is outgrown, a spare or simply ready for a new team, your donation can help make sport more accessible for others. All donated items are carefully cleaned, sorted and sold through their UNITY store at affordable prices, providing access to quality sportswear for individuals and families on low incomes. But Goal2Grow is about more than raising funds. It champions sustainability by extending the life of valuable sportswear, reducing textile waste and removing financial barriers that can prevent young people from participating in sport. Recommended Reading: Latest planning applications submitted to Peterborough City Council It is about inclusion, wellbeing and giving everyone a fair chance to enjoy the game. Up The Garden Bath believe great things happen when people are given the space to grow creatively, socially and environmentally. With the Goal2Grow fundraiser they are blending the community's passion for nature and football to create meaningful and lasting change. All proceeds from sales will directly support Up The Garden Bath's wide range of educational and environmental community projects across Cambridgeshire. These include school based eco workshops, community gardening initiatives, sustainability education and the creation of public green spaces. Up The Garden Bath is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising environmental awareness, encouraging creativity and strengthening community connections through upcycling and practical learning experiences. Since launching, they have built a loyal following and continue to make a real difference across the region. Their UNITY store, opened in 2023, and is already a local success story, generating more than £600,000 in revenue for local crafters, makers, artists and small businesses. More than just a shop, UNITY is a thriving community hub, offering free workshops, a public crafting area and a welcoming space for people of all ages to come together to learn, create and grow. Dave and Kez said: "UNITY has shown us that when people are given the chance to grow both creatively and personally, amazing things happen. With Goal2Grow, we are bringing that spirit into new territory, combining our love for community, the environment and sport to deliver lasting impact. This is about inclusion, sustainability and giving everyone the opportunity to get involved." How to Donate: Drop off your old football kits at the award-winning collaborative community retail project UNITY in the Queensgate Shopping Centre.
