Rainbow Run 2026

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 4th annual Rainbow Run during Pride Month, now featuring both 5K and 10K routes that showcase the splendor of our city parks and greenway. It's more than a run; it's a celebration of our vibrant community and allies, all while taking strides along the picturesque Roanoke River Greenway starting from River's Edge Park - North.

The excitement kicks off at 7 a.m. with check-in and race pack pick up, a pre-game filled with sponsors and fun activities, while the main event starts at 8 a.m. sharp. Whether you're here for the rhythm of the run or the community spirit, your registration – starting at $35 – includes a T-shirt, a race bib, and a well-earned medal. And the best part? You're running for a cause as all proceeds support the Roanoke Diversity Center. So, let’s get moving with pride!
