Pride 5K

The Pride 5K is an annual running event held at Carrier Park Shelter on Amboy Road in Asheville, North Carolina, benefiting Blue Ridge Pride. This inclusive 5K welcomes both competitive runners and casual participants, with awards given across multiple age groups and three gender categories: man, woman, and nonbinary/genderqueer. The event features a scenic course, a coffee truck, snacks, water, and speakers from Blue Ridge Pride.

LGBTQIA2S+ fitness organizations and businesses also participate as vendors. Participants can join in person or virtually, with race packets mailed to virtual runners. Proceeds support health equity and mental health programs in the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
