Stride to Pride 5K Run/Walk

• Stride to Pride 5K Run/Walk:- Run 3.1 Miles

What better way to kick off Pride weekend than with a beautiful sunset 5K along the waterfront of Lake Champlain!  In its second year, this event celebrates the joy of the LGBTQ and allied community through fun and fitness!  We welcome everyone who wishes to join us in the celebration to show support, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.  All proceeds benefit the work of the Pride Center of Vermont.

Starting at 6 pm in Battery Park this course will be mostly flat or downhill, with one incline near the end.  Water stations available during the course with water and snacks at the end.  This race will not be officially timed, but there will be prizes for the top 3 runners and top 3 walkers (walkers defined as always having 2 feet on the ground throughout the course).  We will also be offering a prize for “Most Prideful” costume!

Sign up early for the best registration prices!
