Registration is open for the 2026 Queer Run Philly 5K!
posted on April 15th, 2026
The Queer Run Philly 5K is back for year two, and it’s bigger, bolder and still rooted in what matters most: queer and trans joy in motion.
Held in partnership with Students Run Philly Style, we’re bringing this year’s race to FDR Park in South Philadelphia — making race day more accessible than ever with a quick ride down Broad Street!
We thank Netanya DeRouchie (they/them/theirs/he) for lending us their time and energy to build the Queer Run Philly 5K designs!
