Event Information
The Event
The Palm Springs Pride Run & 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 & Walk benefit The LGBT Community Center of The Desert. A thriving, community-based organization, "The Center" 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.

The Palm Springs Pride Run & Walk is part of a weekend of activities celebrating Greater Palm Springs Pride! A portion of your registration fee helps to keep Coachella Valley's longest-running LGBT parade and festival in downtown Palm Springs, and FREE for all to attend. For everything you want to know about Greater Palm Springs Pride, go to www.pspride.org.

There will be volunteers on the course to cheer you on and keep you on track, and a water stop to keep you well hydrated.
