Run for Brighton Pride

Besi Besemar April 14, 2014

Pride to stage an inaugural 5K Rainbow Run, Community Sports Day and Picnic for Disco Diva’s this summer.

Rainbow Run

The first 5k Pride Rainbow Run takes place on Sunday, July 27 on Preston Park.

Every omi and polone is invited to chuck on some lycra and leg warmers, troll along to Preston Park to vada the talented totty and bona bods as they mince around a variety of camp courses.

The Rainbow Run is all about having fun. All ages and abilities are welcome. You choose whether to run, walk, mince or even crawl the 5K.

Hosted by the glorious Dolly Rocket it’s a chance to forget 118 118 and embrace a discotastic fun run full of frolics and camp afro-tastic kitsch glamour.

Rainbow Run has partnered with Minimal Sportswear for the event. Tracey Davenport from Minimal Sportswear is very excited to be part of this new addition to the Brighton Pride Festival calendar.

She said: “The aim of the day aside from raising money for charity is to make people laugh. Laughter and fun does wonders for people and it’s highly infectious! I think this run will do the trick.

“There are going to be four 1K crazy fancy dress stations where each participant grabs some extra disco glamour. At each station there will be disco music and must-hear drag queen comparing. The Rainbow Run is going to be the mother of good times, laughter and running all rolled into one fantastic fun package!”

Registration is £18.50 and includes your donation to the Rainbow Fund and Pride plus your diva Feather Boa, clip on butch YMCA moustaches, hot sexy leg warmers and disco specs. You may also wish to raise extra funds for the Rainbow Fund or the charity of your choice.

Medals for winners and prizes from Vivo Barefoot and Nick Rivett Intersport in Hove will be awarded for the best disco divas. Forget Saturday Night Fever, this is your Sunday morning disco workout, so pump up the jam and let’s get physical!
