Event Information
OUR EVENT
The Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk brings together runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to raise funds for local LGBTQ+ organizations and promote inclusivity in our community and sports. The annual event is proudly hosted by Palm Springs Front Runners & Walkers, a local chapter of International Frontrunners, an informal network of LGBTQ running groups around the world. As the race organizer, we are committed to helping provide much needed services to the diverse LGBTQ+ community of which we are a part. 

Since 2016, the Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk has raised over $150,000 for local charities serving the LGBTQ+ community, including The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert, Transgender Health and Wellness Center, Brothers of the Desert, Safe Schools Desert Cities, and Greater Palm Springs Pride.

This year we continue our commitment community through our beneficiaries, The LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert and Transgender Health and Wellness Center. In addition, we are helping to keep Coachella Valley’s longest-running LGBTQ parade and festival FREE for all to enjoy through our donation to Greater Palm Springs Pride.

The Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk 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 run and walk takes place in the beautiful and historic neighborhood of Old Las Palmas, once home to many Hollywood celebrities. The beautiful, mostly flat, out-and-back course is on paved streets. There will be volunteers on the course to cheer you on and keep you moving in the right direction.
