WESSEX Cancer Trust’s Rainbow Run-Bubble Fun returns to the Isle of Wight County Showground in Northwood this summer.

Now in its fifth year, the 3km family fun run is getting a shake-up with a new video game theme.

Giant inflatables, power paint and foam blasters will be joined by video game-themed obstacles so you can take on the run as your favourite gaming character.

This year there is also a new entertainment village featuring live music, food vendors, archery and more.

Laura Haytack, Wessex Cancer Trust’s regional fundraiser for the Island, said: “It’s the perfect summer event for everyone; whether you want to compete against friends or colleagues, or you fancy a fun-filled afternoon with the family helping each other through the obstacles. 

“However you take on Rainbow Run, you’ll leave with a huge smile on your face!”

Since the event started, Rainbow Run has raised more than £100,000 for Island families living with cancer.

There are timeslots at 11am, 11.45am, 2pm and 2.45pm on Sunday, June 25.
