Pride Run & Walk Launch BBQ

Vancouver Frontrunners invite you to join them at the Junction Pub on June 25th from 3-7pm to help launch this year’s Pride Run & Walk.

Last year we raised over $13,200 which went directly back to the community, and this year we hope to out perform that number again.

Invite your friends, colleagues, team members, and show us your true colours as the theme is Pride and/or Disco! Bring out the rainbows, the short shorts, the 80’s hair and lets have some fun.

We’ve also teamed up with the Junction and are able to offer an incredibly cheap burger and beer combo ($10 in advanced, $15 at the door).
