5K ROUTE

Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the 2026 Frontrunners Lexington Pride Run 5K/1 mile event! We are excited to share with you an opportunity to increase your visibility in our community while supporting LGBTQ+ students in our community at the same time!

Since 2019, the Frontrunners Lexington Pride Run 5K has brought Central Kentucky together for a standard-setting race that athletes, spectators, and sponsors love. (And dogs!) Our Pride Run was the first race in Kentucky to establish a non-binary category, and we have raised thousands of dollars for LGBTQ+ youth in and around Lexington. Together, we’ve raised over $40,000 for individuals and organizations making the Bluegrass a better place to live, work, and play! Learn more about our Grants and Scholarships on our website. 

See attached PDF for sponsorship registration instructions or email the Race Director Trey Darnell at priderun@frontrunnerslex.com if you have further questions or need assistance with registration/sponsorship.

**Payment must be received by August 15, 2026, to be included on the T-shirt
