Fundraising
Is there a minimum sponsorship?
We ask that each individual try to raise at least £15 to support Demelza. This can be done online through your Funraisin page, which will be automatically set up on registration, through JustGiving - or you're welcome to fundraise offline.
Can I bring donations with me on the day?
Of course. We will have a donation station available in the information tent, located in the event village. You can also pay in your offline donations after the event through our website.
General
Is Eltham the only Demelza Rainbow Run in 2026?
Yes, we will only be holding Rainbow Run in Eltham. We will be holding a Bubble Rush event in Maidstone in June.
Can I change my wave number and start time on the day?
Your wave number and start time are fixed and cannot be changed on the day. This is to ensure we stay within our maximum capacity and maintain a safe, enjoyable experience for everyone.
Are tickets available on the day?
Availability will depend on capacity and whether event waves sell out ahead of time. To avoid missing out and to lock in the best price, we strongly recommend booking in advance.
When will my t-shirt and wrist band arrive?
Your Rainbow Run pack, inlcuding your t-shirt and wristband, will be posted to the address you registered with two weeks before the event. We'll notify you by email once it's on its way.
Why am I unable to register my children on their own ?
All children under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult and stay with them throughout the event.
Is there food and drink available?
All supporters can enjoy a delicious selection of food and drink, including refreshing ice cream and a variety of hot and cold beverages, perfect for refuelling!
What shall I wear on the day?
For your safety and comfort, we recommend wearing appropriate footwear, such as trainers. Bare feet are not permitted on the course.
While the coloured powder is completely safe, it may lightly stain clothing, so we suggest avoiding your best sportswear. Dress for fun and be ready to get a little colourful!

Is the course accessible for all?
Yes, the Rainbow Run course is designed to be accessible for everyone. If you're a wheelchair user, please make yourself known to event staff at the start line so we can ensure you set off first, giving you plenty of space and a smooth start.
If you're bringing a pushchair, please note that the colour may mark or stain the fabric — so plan accordingly if you're using your best buggy!

What do I do if my t-shirt and wristband don't arrive before the event?
If you haven’t received your pack by the week before the event, please get in touch with us. If delivery is unlikely in time, we may arrange for you to collect it on the day at the information tent.
Can I bring my own food and drink?
You’re more than welcome to bring your own food and drink. We would suggest all supporters bringing their own water to stay hydrated.
Can I stay after I've taken part?
Of course, we’d love for you to stick around and soak up the atmosphere! After your run, head over to the event village and dive into games, entertainment and tasty treats.
Can I bring my dog?
For the safety and comfort of all participants, dogs and other animals are not permitted in the event village or on the course.
