June 12 @ 8:00 am – June 22 @ 5:00 pm $30
Lace-up your running shoes, show off your most creative rainbow costume, and join the Rainbow Run. Presented by Snow City Café, Identity Inc., and Anchorage Front Runners. This 5K run, or walk, will be held VIRTUALLY. Wear your most imaginative Pride or rainbow-themed costume and make sure to take some fun photos to be shared online with friends and family. Your bib and race packets can be either picked up at Snow City Café or Starbucks at C & Tudor to ensure you have them for your run (and get extra goodies) or mailed to you shortly after registration. See the schedule below for bib pickup times, locations, and details.
This is Anchorage Front Runner’s 22nd Pride Run!! One of the first Pride runs, in Anchorage, was in 2000 with the start of Anchorage Front Runners. The group still meets every Tuesday night at 6 pm down at Westchester Lagoon (15th and U Street). All LGBTQ+, friends, and family are welcome to join. The run became an official Pride event in 2006 and the Rainbow Run started in 2015. The run itself has grown and the community connection is as strong as ever.
