More Than Just a Run
Pride Run is about more than clocking kilometers. It is a celebration of identity, love, and acceptance. Participants can expect exciting performances along the route and at the finish line, including appearances by popular performers who bring energy and pride spirit to the event. The MOA Complex provides a stunning waterfront backdrop, making it one of the most scenic urban running venues in the country.
