Taking place both in-person and virtually, Callen-Lorde’s Rainbow Run is a 5K or 10K fun run/leisure walk promoting health and wellness while supporting the lifesaving work of Callen-Lorde Community Health Center! This year, the Rainbow Run will take place in person on Saturday, May 4 at 10am (gathering at 9am) in Manhattan's Hudson River Park or virtually, wherever you are, anytime between May 4 and May 12.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are interested in participating virtually, we ask that you sign up by April 26 to allow us time to mail you your bib and other incentives!

📝 HOW IT WORKS

Prior to the event, all registrants will receive a participant package either in person or in the mail, which will include a personal bib number. The in-person event will take place in Manhattan's Hudson River Park on Saturday, May 4 at 10am, gathering at 9am for bib pick-up, snacks, and warm-ups. If you are not in the NYC area or prefer to participate virtually, you can choose any day between May 4 and May 12 to complete your run, walk or roll in the convenience of your own neighborhood. In addition to participating in the Rainbow Run, you can help by:

Creating a personal fundraising page – Set a fundraising goal and have those in your networks donate to your race and proudly show their support of LGBTQ+ health and wellness. This year, we will offer exciting individual incentives for fundraising – stay tuned!
Building and inspiring a team – This race is the perfect opportunity to partner with friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and others to promote wellness! Teams are a great way to inspire healthy competition while supporting a great cause. We encourage teams to be creative in their costumes (safety first!) and team name!
Considering a sponsorship opportunity – Sponsorships are available starting at $250 and are an excellent way to promote your commitment to LGBTQ+ health. Sponsors are listed on promotional e-mails, social media, printed materials, and in-clinic event signage. Sponsorships can be made by individuals or organizations, and all funds empower Callen-Lorde to continue to provide lifesaving health services to those who need it most.
