Trans Pride Brighton and Hove is proud to announce that after a great response to our sports area last year we’re increasing our focus more on sports, wellbeing and fitness. Why? As members of the trans and non-binary community, we understand that there are a lot of barriers we face when getting involved with sports, fitness and keeping active. We’d like to provide a space where trans, intersex, non-binary, gender-variant and gender-queer people who wouldn’t normally do sports or be active can try out various activities, have some fun and talk to like-minded people. We welcome people of all abilities and experience.

Trans Pride Brighton and Hove is hosting its first ever fun run. We say fun run but that’s just because it rhymes, we have lots of fun, but you don’t have to run, you can walk it if you prefer. The route is nice and flat and asphalt, so it’s fully accessible for people in wheelchairs. The course can be run either as 2½ km or 5 km.
The fun run is open to all trans, non-binary, intersex people, friends, family and allies.
We are pleased to announce that we’ve just received funding from Sports England for this event, so all the money raised will go back to Trans Pride Brighton and Hove to help fund future events.
