Palm Springs Front Runners & Walkers is a fun, friendly, and welcoming running and walking group for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies throughout the Coachella Valley. Whether you’re new to the area, just starting your fitness journey, or simply looking for good company, this is a group where all paces, all backgrounds, and all abilities are celebrated.
Beyond their regular runs and walks, the group hosts social gatherings, community events, and their signature annual event—the Palm Springs Pride 5K Run and Walk.
🌈 Save the Date: Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk
Mark your calendar for Saturday, November 7, 2026!
This exciting kickoff to Pride Weekend brings together runners, walkers, strollers, and supporters of all ages and abilities for a colorful celebration of movement, visibility, and community.
Registration opens in July!
Last year’s event sold out quickly, with all 1,200 spots claimed before Packet Pick-Up Day, and nearly 1,200 participants filling the course with energy, pride, and community spirit.
❤️ Making a Difference
The impact goes far beyond race day. Last year’s Pride 5K raised over $50,000 for local LGBTQ+ organizations, helping provide safety, affirmation, and life-changing resources throughout the Coachella Valley. Since the race began, more than $300,000 has been donated to local nonprofits—and this year aims to raise even more.
Come meet the Front Runners, hear about their mission, and learn how you can get involved with the group, and in the 2026 Pride 5K at our July Outreach Mixer.
