Join a powerful celebration of unity at the Front Runners New York LGBTQ+ Pride Run® 4M.
Run with pride and show solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community at the 45th running of the Front Runners New York LGBTQ+ Pride Run® 4M. This year's theme, "Miles of Belonging Together," celebrates the unity we share through movement, reminding us that pride is strongest when we lift each other up.
Since its inaugural race in Central Park in 1982, the Pride Run has stood as a landmark moment—launching a powerful, enduring partnership among Front Runners New York, New York Road Runners, and the City of New York.
Today, the race continues to celebrate LGBTQIA+ pride and the ongoing movement toward equality, diversity, and inclusion for all. In 2019, the event made history by breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest pride charity run, with more than 10,200 finishers.
Front Runners New York is New York City’s premier LGBTQIA+ running and multisport club. Founded in 1979, the club has grown to over 1,200 members, representing one of the largest LGBTQIA+ athletic clubs in the world. Each year, Front Runners New York makes a donation to a nonprofit organization serving LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers—the 2026 beneficiary is Housing Works. Since 1990, Housing Works has provided a comprehensive array of services to more than 30,000 homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
The Member-Only Standby List is a perk for NYRR members who are willing to participate in an NYRR race if entries become available after registration has closed. These individuals will be invited to register for the race on a first-come, first-served basis.
Active NYRR members can read about the Member-Only Standby List here.
When you run with NYRR, you do more than compete in a world-class race—your support and participation play a role in fulfilling our vision to build healthier lives and stronger communities through the transformative power of running, and benefit NYRR’s free youth and community programs, including Rising New York Road Runners, NYRR Striders, Open Run, and more.
All event information is subject to change.
Housing Works provides primary and behavioral healthcare for 15,000+ low-income and unhoused New Yorkers, with 140,000+ visits annually at little or no cost to patients. The organization has six community healthcare clinics across NYC staffed by providers specializing in HIV healthcare, substance-use disorders, and treatment of chronic illnesses. In 2024, two new world-class health clinics opened in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem. By reducing barriers to care, Housing Works is ending AIDS and saving lives. Housing Works is the nation's largest supportive housing provider for individuals living with HIV. With 700+ units of housing across NYC and 200+ currently under construction, the organization leads the way in providing our most vulnerable New Yorkers with the housing stability needed for successful HIV treatment. Housing Works also operates multiple temporary shelter properties with hundreds of beds and linkage to long-term care. Advocacy Housing Works' grassroots advocacy helps local efforts to secure funding for healthcare and housing assistance and national and international efforts to end AIDS. Recent victories include the restoration of HIV funding originally cut in the New York City FY25 budget and taking legal action to protect a SUNY student suspended based on harmful HIV stigmatization.
