Run with Pride 2025

Welcome back – we’re happy you’re here! Run with Pride is back this year with some exciting changes. Queer Intersections (QX) is now proudly organizing the event, and we can’t wait to bring the community together once again. Join us Sunday, June 15th, at 6:00 PM for an evening of movement, celebration, and Pride! We are incredibly thankful to those who worked hard to maintain this event in the past, and we hope to continue its legacy moving forward. There will be on-site timing provided by Chiptime Results and prizes for those who place 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in their respective categories, and medals for everyone who participates. If you’re not ready or able to run our 5km or 10km routes, there is also a 2km route available for those who wish to walk or run alongside their kiddos. The path is also fully accessible for folx who use wheelchairs and other mobility aides. A photographer will be on site to capture your moments of glory for you to share - free! Not interested in having your photo taken? Please indicate this in your registration, and we’ll be sure not to snap any action shots. Bib and Shirt Pick-up Kit and Shirt pick-up will be available ahead of race day – more details will be shared via email closer to the race date. We will offer 3 different pick-up dates and locations ahead of the race in late May and early June. Like last year, shirts will be sold separately to keep participation fees low, allowing more folks to join us! If you are unsure if you would like to purchase a shirt, you can register now and purchase your shirt later through the Store.NOTE: Shirt sales will close on May 15th - don't delay! Where is my donation going? We’re thrilled to share that 100% of all donations this year will directly support Queer Intersections (QX), London’s only 2SLGBTQIA+ community centre and hub!

There will be a hydration station at each turnaround point. At our hydration stations, there will be cups available, but for environmental reasons, we highly encourage runners to bring a reusable cup if possible! Washrooms are available at the start/finish area. Park washrooms are also available in Greenway Park and the Springbank Pumphouse along the race routes. Will there be prizes? This year, we will be offering prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of each running category. In the spirit of community, all individuals and families who register for the 2km Chosen Family Walk and Run will be entered into a draw to win a prize. There will also be a prize for the individual or family that fundraises the most! Not able to participate but want to support? Please consider donating to the event or signing up as a volunteer.
