Holyoke Pride Rainbow Run 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk

Join the vibrant Holyoke Pride Rainbow Run 5K and 1 Mile Fun Walk on Saturday, June 13, 2026, for a celebration of fitness, community, and inclusivity in Holyoke, MA. Kicking off at 10:00 AM EDT from the scenic Ashley Reservoir, near the Holyoke Elks at 250 Whitney Avenue, this event offers both a challenging 5K run and a relaxed 1 Mile Fun Walk, making it perfect for participants of all ages and abilities. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature pleasant highs around 78°F and lows around 55°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing excellent weather for a spirited race or a leisurely stroll.

This event, now in its third year, stands out as a unique opportunity to "show your colors" and connect with both the running and Pride communities. The course, set against the beautiful backdrop of Ashley Reservoir, offers a refreshing experience, though participants should note that dogs are not permitted at the reservoir. Bib pickup and same-day registration open early at 8:30 AM, allowing ample time to prepare. Proceeds from the run directly support the Holyoke Pride Committee, helping to keep PrideFest a free and accessible event for everyone to enjoy.

Runners can anticipate an energetic atmosphere, complete with music from Jammin 100.1 and Bomba 104.5 broadcasting live, along with local food trucks and vendors. Prizes and medals will be awarded to top finishers across male, female, and non-binary divisions, as well as to age group winners, encouraging friendly competition. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply want to enjoy a morning of camaraderie and support a meaningful cause, the Holyoke Pride Rainbow Run promises an unforgettable experience.
