Pride is for EVERYONE, and The Project is dedicated to hosting a FREE, inclusive Pride Party at Bass Street Landing every year!

This year, we're giving you the chance to become part of the Pride picture with an optional donation at the door. Your donation goes straight to The Project and supports LGBTQ+ health and community wellness all year round!

And, if you donate more than $20 at our Pride Event, you can select a FREE Pride T-shirt (while supplies last)!

This year's Pride 5K: Walk, Run, & Roll includes a Wizard of Oz costume contest!

Run is style and win fabulous prizes by entering!

Anyone registered to run in one of our races can join in on the fun and participate in our Costume Contest the morning of the race. Your costumes will be judged based on creativity, quality, theme, and overall appearance!

Costume Contest Competitors should sign in and receive their race number as usual BEFORE entering the contest.

AFTER you have registered for your race and received your packet, find the labeled costume contest area where a volunteer will photograph you. Your race number MUST be fully visible in the photo to compete.

If you are competing as a group, wait until everyone in your group has arrived before getting photographed.

Winners will be announced on our social media the week following the race, and the winners will also be contacted directly!
