The Rainbow Run 5K Presented by NSRF
The Rainbow Run is a community 5K presented by NSRF at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, New York. The event supports and raises awareness for LGBT+ youth mental health across Long Island.
The event includes a 5K race and a free kiddie fun run. There is an in-person option and a virtual option; virtual participants have from the first day of the event and a full week to log their time and upload up to five photos. Bibs can be mailed for a fee of $10 if registration occurs at least ten days before the event. In-person bib pickup is handled by event staff.
On-site amenities include an informal bag check area, bathrooms a short walk from the start and finish, hydration at the finish line, and post-race refreshments provided by All Round Foods and Waterloo Sparkling Water. Finish line photos and same-day video are provided free of charge. A PRIDE soft blend tee is available to participants.
Awards are given to the top overall finishers and to top finishers in age group categories for female, male, and nonbinary divisions. The course uses areas within Merrick Lands and Eisenhower Park; a certified course map is available for review. Results are published online with live and same-day reporting.
