Truro School boarders took part in the Children’s Hospice South West Rainbow Run, a 5k untimed fun run, famously known as the brightest and most colourful event of the year!
Wearing plain white t-shirts, the boarders were showered in clouds of coloured powder at paint stations along the route, finishing the race covered head to toe in vibrant rainbow hues. Each participant proudly received a Rainbow Run medal as they crossed the finish line.
Mr McKeown, Head of Boarding, said, “What an incredible event and such wonderful, community-minded involvement from our boarders. We are very proud of them!”
The event saw around 1,500 runners and walkers take part, raising an estimated £100,000 to support the vital work of Children’s Hospice South West, which provides care for babies, children, and young people with life-limiting conditions.
The charity shared their thanks, saying, “Thank you to our incredible venue, supporters, volunteers, local businesses, entertainers, and vendors – we simply couldn’t have done this without you.”
It certainly looks like our boarders had a fantastic time. Congratulations to everyone who took part and proudly represented Truro School!
