Over 8000 runners sign up for second year of Pride Run

More than 8,000 runners enlisted for the second year of Runrio's Pride Run which will be held in Cebu, Manila, and Davao this month.

The Pride Run will be held in Cebu on June 22, and in Manila and Davao on June 29.

“Events like the Pride Run underscores the importance of sustaining the momentum of pride beyond the race, using visibility in sports to amplify the voices of LGBTQIA+ Filipinos, especially in advocacy and active mobility spaces,” said Thysz Estrada, Philippine Anti-Discrimination Alliance of Youth Leaders (PANTAY) chairperson.

Races which will be conducted include 10K, 5K, 3K, and 1K dog categories.

“We’re happy to share the love through our races, and this year’s Pride Run only motivates us to make this another memorable race for everyone,” said RUNRIO founder and CEO Rio de la Cruz.
