Run with US
Join us for the Philly Black Pride Run, a joyful community run celebrating Philadelphia’s vibrant Black LGBTQ+ community! This exciting event brings together runners, walkers, friends, and allies to honor Philadelphia Black Pride while promoting health, wellness, and unity.
Proceeds from the run benefit the Michael Hinson Mission Grants, which support programs that uplift and empower members of the Black LGBTQ+ community. Whether you’re running for fitness, fellowship, or a great cause, this is a wonderful way to move your body, celebrate Pride, and give back.
Come out, bring your friends, and help us celebrate our community living with Pride, Joy, and Good Health. Lace up, show up, and run with Pride! 🏳️🌈🏃🏾♂️✨
Why do We Run..
Running with members of your community is a powerful way to build both physical health and meaningful connection. When people come together to run, they encourage one another, reduce stress, and create a shared sense of purpose that strengthens the whole community.
Caring for our bodies is also deeply connected to faith. In the good book, believers are reminded that our bodies are a temple and that honoring God ( or The Universe/Whom You Believe) includes caring for the life and health God has given us. By staying active, supporting one another, and embracing wellness together, we live out a vision of life that reflects gratitude, stewardship, and joy.
What is a Run Series ?
A Run Series is more than a collection of races; it is a shared journey that connects runners, walkers, and supporters across multiple events throughout the year. Each race in the series builds on the last, creating a sense of Momentum, purpose, and community. Participants return again and again not only to challenge themselves physically, but also to be part of something bigger: a movement that celebrates health, perseverance, and connection. Whether someone joins for their first run or completes the entire series, each event contributes to a larger story of personal growth and collective impact.
One of the most exciting aspects of a Run Series is the opportunity to collect unique medals, race shirts, bibs, and special giveaways that commemorate each milestone along the way. These items serve as lasting reminders of the effort, pride, and community spirit behind every finish line. Even more meaningful is the mission behind the miles; every race in the series supports the community's fight to improve mental health through Momentum's Community Health programs! With every registration, step, and celebration, runners help expand access to wellness support and resources, ensuring that more individuals can live healthier lives filled with purpose, resilience, and hope.
