What better way to start off your Brooklyn Pride Saturday than with a morning 5K (3.1 mile) LGBTQIA+ fun run? You'll be joined by hundreds of runners from across NYC and beyond as you race through scenic and historic Prospect Park, and a portion of your registration fee will go toward Make the Road New York, the largest member-led immigrants rights organization in New York.
Make the Road's mission is to build the power of immigrant and working-class communities to achieve dignity and justice. Through legal and survival services, transformative education, policy innovation, and community organizing, they help to improve the lives of tens of thousands of New Yorkers directly and millions more through policy reforms. Make the Road New York is a space of warmth, safety, and support for LGBTQ/TGNCIQ (transgender, gender nonconforming, intersex, and queer) community members. Members gather with peers in a confidential space of mutual support. Make the Road's program is one of the few in New York City that is led and constituted by low-income TGNCIQ people of color, most of whom are immigrants and young people.
The race directors are working to make this the best Brooklyn Pride run yet in 22 years of history! Every runner will receive a specially-designed Brooklyn Pride Run tech t-shirt and a custom engraved Brooklyn Pride Run finisherâs medal. There will also be prizes for the top overall and age group finishers (19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+).
At this and all Brooklyn Pride events, we celebrate the diversity of our community, and we encourage runners to register under the gender identity category (male, female, transgender/gender non-conforming) they prefer.
The race is co-sponsored by Brooklyn Pride and Front Runners New York. Brooklyn Pride is one of the largest and most prominent organizations serving Brooklynâs LGBTQIA+ community. Be sure to check out all the other festivities during Brooklyn Pride Week!
Front Runners New York is an LGBT running club with organized long runs, speed training, multisport workouts, socials events, and much, much more. The club is a supportive community for athletes of all ability levels and interest. Everyone is welcome to join fun runs on Wednesday night and Saturday morning in Manhattan, and Tuesday night in Brooklyn.
