The St Wilfrid’s Hospice 5km Rainbow Run was a huge success again on 7 June 2025. This event is an annual favourite for so many people –with colleagues, friends and family!
1500 runners and walkers booked in to raise funds for the hospice, knowing that they would run through the fields of Nash Street Farm and finish multi-coloured from head to foot!
The 5k course passed through 7 paint stations (some with water pistols too!) and 2 foam stations. The finish line leads into a final almighty paint party!
The team at Lightning Fibre were so pleased to be the sponsors of the Pink Paint Station.
So far, the St Wilfrid’s Hospice website is reporting that the amount raised has reached a whopping £99,717 and it is still rising!
Perfectly Pink
The Lighting Fibre Paint Squad this year was Emma, our Head of Marketing, with Fran and Connar from the Lightning Fibre Customer Services department in Eastbourne.
The paint is 100% biodegradable and non-toxic. It’s made from food grade corn starch and does wash out of most things – but not white t-shirts!
Our pink station had a group of fabulous volunteers that joined us throwing paint at the long stream of runners.
See some of the action in our Instagram Reel... do follow us on social for more community news!
Huge congratulations to the St Wilfrid’s Hospice team and all the runners – an outstanding event – well organised, super fun for everyone and a fantastic fundraising success!
