In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say, ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.

Pride Run, 2014
Vancouver Frontrunners is pleased to announce our annual Pride Run for 2014!
9.30am on Saturday the 26th of July at Brocton Oval in Stanley Park, we will see hundreds of colourful, eager and excited walkers and runners participating in either the 5km or 10km walk/run event.
Over $10,000 was raised for Out In Schools last year and this year we’re excited to include the Vancouver Pride Society’s QMUNITY Pride Legacy Fund as an additional beneficiary to Out In Schools. This year we’re setting our sights high, aiming to raise $12,000 for our community partners and continue to increase our runner and walker turnout.
Registration is now open for Individuals and teams of 5 people.
Something unique we’re proud to add to this year’s event is the introduction of a third gender category; ‘Gender Variant’. This helps recognize and celebrate those whose identities exist between or outside of the gender binary and enables Vancouver Frontrunners to help build a more inclusive and encompassing environment for everyone.
The finish line also happens to be conveniently located at the beginning of ‘Picnic in the Park’, hosted by the Vancouver Pride Society. There just couldn’t be a better way to end such a vibrant run/walk event.
So whether you’re an experienced runner, an avid walker or a motivated beginner, get your registration in now, set yourself a goal and come out to join us!
See you at the start line!
