Are pets allowed?

Pets are permitted The Pride Run, but should be well-behaved, on a leash at all times and you accept full responsibility for your pet and its actions.

Is this a timed run?

Yes – we offer both 5k and 10k heats, however The Pride Run is for everyone of every ability. For most it’s the enjoyment of taking part surrounded by like-minded and supportive people.

Some run competitively and look to get a great time; many people run or walk to meet their own goal which could simply be about taking part. Some get together with friends and run or walk as a team. Some dress-up; some don’t.

Basically, it’s your event to enjoy as you wish. So don’t worry about finishing times (unless you want to!) – just come along and enjoy the day.

We ask that walkers begin after the runners.
