Do You Want to Make 2026 An Even Bigger Success?
Sponsorship
The Brighton & Hove Rainbow Run isn’t just a race; it’s a celebration of community, inclusion, and the vibrant spirit of our city. Serving as the unofficial "kick-off" to the Brighton Pride event, our 5K race unites over 500 runners, numerous spectators, and local icons to raise vital funds for LGBTQ+ community support.
We are entirely volunteer-run, ensuring that every penny of sponsorship goes directly toward making the event a success and maximizing our donation to our charity of the year. By partnering with us, your business can become a visible champion for equality as part of our local business partnerships.

We offer a variety of ways for local businesses and individuals to get involved, ranging from financial support to in-kind donations.
Goodie Bag Partners: We love to reward our finishers! Contribute vouchers, product samples, or branded swag for our 500+ runner goodie bags.
Raffle Prize Donors: Our post-race raffle is a highlight of the evening. Donate a gift card, experience, or prize to help us enhance our fundraising total.
Corporate Teams: Bring your staff along! We provide prizes for local businesses looking to elevate team morale while supporting a great cause.

Making a Real Difference
Since our inaugural run in 2022, the Rainbow Run has successfully raised over £18,000 for local charities, including Lunch Positive and The Brighton Rainbow Fund. Last year alone, we donated over £5,200 to Allsorts Youth Project, aiding them in providing safe spaces for LGBTQ+ young people under 26. Your sponsorship serves as the engine that propels this growth forward.
