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!
