Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk
The Palm Springs Pride 5K Run & Walk takes place in Palm Springs, California on November 7, 2026. Organized by Palm Springs Front Runners & Walkers, the event covers 5K (3.1 miles) through the Old Las Palmas and Vista Las Palmas neighborhoods on a fully paved out and back course. The route offers mountain views and midcentury neighborhood scenery, and volunteers are stationed along the course to assist participants.
The event is capped at 1,200 participants. Registration tiers are set by date with reduced fees for early online registration and a youth rate for registrants under 21; online registration closes November 5, 2026. In person registration may be available on the day before the race if space remains. Refunds are not available.
All online registrants receive a tri blend race shirt unless they opt out to donate the shirt fee. Packet pickup is available the day before at the LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert and on race day at the start area. Bag storage and a complimentary bike valet are provided. Timing chips record official times and awards are given to top overall male, female, and non binary finishers as well as across standard age group categories. Winners must be present to receive medals.
A portion of registration proceeds supports local LGBTQ plus nonprofit beneficiaries and helps maintain the Coachella Valley pride parade and festival. The event is an official Greater Palm Springs Pride 2026 partner. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
