Joy Run #42: Rainbows 🌈

In partnership with

Pinch, punch, it’s the start of a new run month.

Happy June Joy Runners!

It’s one of the best times of year to be a runner. Nature is at its peak. Light, long days. It’s warmer – but not too hot. The trails gloriously stable under foot.

In short: June brings warmth, colour, safety and energy - perfect running fuel.

On an unrelated note, I had a moment of reflection of how far the Joy Runs community has come in its almost full first year. We’ve now got 42 run challenges under our belt. With new friendships, new fitness journeys and a new love for slow running to show for it. Thanks for helping to create such a welcoming and encouraging run club.

In the spirit of inclusivity…

This Week’s Run Theme: Rainbows 🌈

Not just the rare ones that arc across the sky (though those are worth pausing for), but the everyday pops of colour that show up when you’re paying attention. Think painted crossings, bursts of colour on your route, shopfront flags.

June is Pride Month, or a least the start of Pride season - a time to honour joy, identity and community. The rainbow has long stood for visibility, hope and the right to take up space, exactly as you are. So this week, we’re running in support, in solidarity, and in colour.

You might spot a real rainbow. You might not. Either way, keep your eyes open - you’ll find plenty of little ones tucked into the world around you.

Let’s turn our movement into a powerful message.

As always, don’t forget to tag Joy Runs on Instagram to be featured in our gallery 📷 

Have fun!
