Lupa Run X Pride Run 10k
Lupa Run is proud to support the 2023 Pride Run 10k.
This year marks 20 years of the race, making it an extra special event.
Pride Run 10k is a not-for-profit run; a flat 3-lap 10k held in London's Victoria Park on 16th September 2023. It is organised every year by a group of volunteers from London Frontrunners - an inclusive running club for lesbians, gay and bisexual men and women, transgender and gay-friendly people - and sponsored by Dolphin Square.
This year, Pride Run 10K will support the Micro Rainbow International Foundation as selected charity; Micro Rainbow International Foundation works globally to help lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people achieve their full potential in life and have equal access to employment, training, education, financial services, healthcare, housing, places of faith, and public places and services.
The charity does so through three main programmes:
Economic empowerment and advocacy. Because of discrimination, many LGBTI people around the world are prevented from accessing education, employment and financial services. The charity supports LGBTI people living with less than $1 a day by delivering small business trainings, moving on services and facilitating micro-finance.
Social inclusion. Many LGBTI people are rejected by their families and communities and live in extreme isolation. The charity delivers activities that help them build new friendships and stronger social safety nets.
Emergency housing and support. Thousands of LGBTI people come to the UK every year because they face torture, imprisonment or even the death penalty in their country, just because of who they are and love. This programme supports vulnerable LGBTI asylum seekers who are at risk of homelessness and extreme poverty with emergency housing and small grants for food, toiletries and transport.
“Lupa Run will guide you on your journey, whether this is your first race or you are after a PB!”
We will be supporting every registered runner in their preparation with our ‘Running a 10k Course’.
Whether you are looking for your first 10k race or a PB, the Pride Run 10k is a welcoming and inclusive event for runners of all abilities.
All participants will receive a medal and a goody bag. The race will be followed by an after-party where you'll be able to enjoy a special medal deal and relax with friends and family.
