**************************************

The Palm Springs Pride Run and Walk is a 5K race through the beautiful and historic neighborhood of Old Las Palmas in sunny Palm Springs, California. The race is proudly organized by Palm Springs Front Runners and Walkers, a local chapter of International Front Runners, an informal network of LGBT running groups around the world.

Proceeds from the Palm Springs Pride Run and Walk will benefit The LGBT Community Center of The Desert ("The Center") and Safe Schools Desert Cities. The Center is a thriving, community-based organization that provides vital services to its members, including mental health and wellness clinics, a community food bank, senior programming, and youth suicide prevention and anti-bullying programs. Safe Schools Desert Cities empowers local LGBTQI+ youth, their allies, and Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) advisors, and provides opportunities for community and individual growth through education, advocacy, recreational activities and opportunities for self-expression.

The Palm Springs Pride Run and Walk 5K is part of a weekend of activities celebrating Greater Palm Springs Pride! For a full list of weekend events and activities go to www.pspride.org.
THE COURSE
The beautiful 5K (3.1 miles) out-and-back course is on paved streets, with an elevation change of just 117 feet. The course will take you through the historic neighborhood of Old Las Palmas, once a citrus grove, and later home to celebrities such as Liberace, Mary Martin, Alan Ladd, William Powell, George Randolph Hearst, Kirk Douglas, Lily Tomlin, and many more.

There will be volunteers on the course to cheer you on and keep you moving in the right direction, and a water stop to keep you well-hydrated.
