Rainbow Brite Comes To Glasgow
Get ready for some colour, as Glasgow's Rainbow Run gets set to return later in the month...
It's hard not to feel grey and gloomy when it's cold outside and the weather seems to have just two settings, wet and wetter! But fear not, Glasgow Frontrunners' Rainbow Run Relay will make its return this month and it promises to be as colourful an affair as ever.
Scheduled for 19 February in Glasgow's Southside, the Rainbow Run Relay is a fun and inclusive event that is open to everyone - all running abilities are welcome. Each team consists of three members, with each member running 1.25K twice (so a total of 7.5K per team).
Glasgow Frontrunner members, friends, family members and colleagues are all invited to enter with their own teams but if you don’t have a team don't let that put you off as organisers will also arrange teams on the day of the event itself.
It is a 'Rainbow Run', so there is a requirement to wear colours determined by birth month (you can see which colour represents your month of birth at the Frontrunners' Facebook page). As always, prizes will be given to the best-named team, best rainbow themed costume, best finish and more!
There will also be the usual post-race bake sale, so organisers would be delighted with any baked good offerings you might be able to rustle up! Donations from the sale will be going to Time for Inclusive Education (TIE).
Someone who will be taking part this year is Glasgow-based Fraser Brown, he told runABC: "I'm very excited to be donning a turquoise shirt to take part in the Rainbow Run for the first time this year, after I joined the Glasgow Frontrunners in their Couch to 5K programme last year.
"This club's bakesales are second to none, and everyone is so welcoming and friendly, and up for having a good time together! It's fantastic too to be raising money for TIE, who are working to fill the gap that was missing in my own education while growing up.
"I really hope that people from far and wide come to join us to run, have a laugh, eat cake and do some good."
