Run and Walk with Pride

Lace up for the vibrant Run and Walk with Pride, returning to Seattle, WA, on June 20, 2026. This annual 8K event, organized by Seattle Frontrunners, offers a fantastic opportunity to celebrate Pride Month while supporting vital local LGBTQIA+ non-profit organizations such as Peer Seattle and Seattle Pride. With a rich history dating back to 1983, the race has grown into a beloved tradition, raising over $200,000 for various organizations in Washington and earning recognition as a top charity event in the Pacific Northwest.

The scenic 8K course winds along two laps of the perimeter of Seward Park, providing participants with picturesque views along the shore of Lake Washington. Known for its "Fast and Flat" elevation profile, this road race minimizes shared areas with motorized vehicles, making it an enjoyable experience for runners and walkers alike. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 72F and comfortable lows near 55F, with only a 4% chance of precipitation, promising ideal weather for your effort. After crossing the finish line near the pottery studio, by a sandy swimming area, participants are invited to extend the celebration with music and a refreshing beer and food garden, weather permitting.

The Run and Walk with Pride is more than just a race; it's a deeply inclusive gathering that fosters community among LGBTQIA+ athletes and their allies. It provides a platform to celebrate health, equality, and collective strength, making it a standout event for those seeking a meaningful and engaging race experience in Seattle. Join fellow runners and walkers for a memorable day that champions diversity and makes a tangible difference in the community.
