Lace up for a celebration of community and pride at the New Orleans Pride Run & Walk, a vibrant 5K event taking place on June 13, 2026, in picturesque Audubon Park. This beloved gathering, marking its 9th anniversary, invites participants of all fitness levels to run, jog, or stroll through a scenic and generally flat course. The event champions inclusivity, unity, and diversity within the fitness community, with proceeds directly benefiting the New Orleans PFLAG Scholarship Program, empowering education and fostering pride.
