SAGE Upstate Pride 5k

Lace up your sneakers and join the vibrant SAGE Upstate Pride 5k on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in Liverpool, NY. This uplifting event, held at scenic Long Branch Park, invites runners, walkers, and rollers of all ages and abilities to participate in a celebratory 5K. Formerly known as the CNY Gay 5K, the race has been renamed to embrace inclusivity for everyone in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities, along with their allies. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 75°F and lows around 55°F, with a 17% chance of precipitation.

This isn't just a race; it's a powerful community gathering with a purpose. Every stride taken supports SAGE Upstate programs, which are dedicated to reducing isolation and improving the health and well-being of older LGBTQ+ individuals in Central New York. One hundred percent of the proceeds remain in the local community, directly impacting those in need. Participants can enjoy a festive atmosphere, with prizes awarded not only for top finishers but also for the best Pride-themed outfits, encouraging a truly spirited and colorful event. Refreshments will be available at the finish line to celebrate your accomplishment.

Whether you join in person at the 9:00 AM start at Long Branch Park or opt for the virtual 5K, the SAGE Upstate Pride 5k promises a rewarding experience. This family-friendly event offers a wonderful opportunity to show your support, celebrate diversity, and contribute to a vital local cause. Last year, the event successfully raised $12,000, demonstrating its significant community impact.
