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. As the unofficial "kick-off" to the Brighton Pride weekend, our 5K brings together over 500 runners, hundreds of spectators, and local icons to raise vital funds for LGBTQ+ causes.
We are entirely volunteer-run, which means every penny of sponsorship goes directly toward making the event possible and maximising our donation to our charity of the year. By partnering with us, your business becomes a visible champion for equality.
How You Can Partner Wth Us
We offer a range of ways for local businesses and individuals to get involved, from financial support to in-kind donations.
- Goodie Bag Partners: We love to reward our finishers! Provide 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 boost our fundraising total.
- Corporate Teams: Bring your staff!, We offer prizes for local businesses looking to boost team morale while supporting a great cause.
What’s In It For You?
Partnering with the Rainbow Run connects your brand with a diverse, active, and community-minded audience in Brighton & Hove.
- Brand Visibility: Your logo featured on our website, social media (Instagram/Facebook), and in our race-day digital communications.

Making a Real Difference
Since our first run in 2022, the Rainbow Run has 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, helping them provide safe spaces for LGBTQ+ young people under 26. Your sponsorship is the engine that allows this growth to continue.
