WNY LGBTQ+ Pride & Wellness 5K – Fun Run/Walk Health Event
May 9 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Kick Off Pride Season in WNY By Joining Niagara Pride For The
5th Annual WNY Pride 5K Fun Run/Walk &
LGBTQ+ Wellness Event
Niagara Pride’s WNY Pride 5K & LGBTQ+ Wellness Event returns in 2026, with a number of new elements and features, making it not only the premier LGBTQ+ health and wellness focused event in all of WNY, but also the event to kick off Pride Season in our area!
Last year, we broke records by having 118 runners/walkers and over 60 vendors in attendance! We’re hoping to break records again and have even more people, groups, agencies, and businesses be part of this celebration!
The 5K is an all-inclusive event, allowing for individuals of all ages, ability levels, and experiences to participate. Individuals can run or walk the event. We encourage local businesses, corporations, agencies, organizations, and Pride groups to enter as teams, showing your support for the WNY LGBTQ+ community.In 2026, Niagara Pride is looking to build on its mission of providing services and programming to all parts of Niagara County, including the most rural areas. To do this, the agency is looking to raise $75,000 to purchase a van that will establish the first mobile Pride Unit in Niagara County.
Buffalo Pride organizes the Buffalo Pride Parade. Buffalo Pride does not organize any of the other events on the Community Calendar — if you have questions about an event, please contact the event organizer.
