From the Race Organizer
Cville Pride Festival 5K Run and Walk Join us for the inaugural Cville Pride 5K! Whether you're a seasoned runner, prefer a leisurely walk, or a fabulous sashay, everyone is welcome to participate. Don your gayest apparel for a morning of movement, joy, and community spirit. Together, we'll stride forward with pride. Runners and walkers will head out from FIREFLY Restaurant + Game Room on East Market Street, then take Riverside Ave. to Riverview Park. There, participants will enjoy over a mile of flat, paved trail by the river. Turning onto a short stretch of gravel around Hogwaller Brewing and Rivanna River Company, the race will re-enter the Woolen Mills neighborhood on Caroline Ave., connect to Fairway Ave., and coast downhill on Chesapeake before a final turn onto Meade Ave. back to FIREFLY Restaurant + Game Room. This event is part of the Cville Pride festival, which aims to create a vibrant, visible, and inclusive LGBTQ+ community presence in Charlottesville, Albemarle, and the surrounding region that promotes equality through events, education, outreach, and advocacy. This is a volunteer-led event and all proceeds from registrations go to Cville Pride.
