Organiser's description

The Rainbow Run 5k Walk/Run is back at Capitol Market!

Run, walk or sashay to raise funds to support Rainbow Pride of WV's Educational Scholarship and to raise awareness to Kick Smoking's Butt in our WV LGBTQ Community!

LGBTQ students are less likely to receive educational financial support than their other students. This event raises funds to go toward our Scholarship for students enrolled in post secondary education, whether that's a trade school/course, 2 year or 4 year program.

WV's LGBTQ community uses smoking tobacco and vapes at rates high than other states. Our community's health matters! We are shining a light on smoking cessation.

Same day registration opens at 8:00 am, Race time is 9:00 am. Rain or Shine

Participants of all ages welcome!
