WELCOME NOTE FROM THE RACE DIRECTOR Pride Run Phoenix’s board welcomes you to the 23rd Annual Pride Run Phoenix run, walk and wheel. Pride Run Phoenix offers you Half Marathon, 10K and 5K courses taking you through the vibrant Melrose District in midtown Phoenix. You’re sure to enjoy the fun exhibitors, entertainment and beer garden sponsored by North Mountain Brewery and Stacy’s @ Melrose. Pride Run Phoenix celebrates IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Acceptance), where Everyone's Welcome. All of us involved believe this type of open environment helps create our unique atmosphere of endless energy that continues to be interesting, fun and exciting for everyone year-after-year. While the pandemic caused a disappointing 2020 cancelation, this Saturday we’re back with new courses and a new host for the event – a big thank you to Stacy’s @ Melrose for providing the backdrop for this year’s event! As winners, runners, walkers and wheelers alike complete your journeys across the finish line, know we'll be rooting for you, handing you an awesome finisher medal and providing you with finisher refreshments from our partner, Fry Food Stores. Big shoutouts also go to partners Paramedics Unlimited for the portable toilets, water, energy drinks and medical aid, and to Sole Sports for energy gels for half marathoners. All race participants, friends, family and spectators receive free admission to the Pride Run Phoenix Celebration Party and Health & Wellness Expo Party from 7 AM to 3 PM on race day. And race participants aged 21 and older will be treated to a complimentary beer by our sponsor, North Mountain Brewing. Please help us thank all our race crew volunteers and our partners by using and promoting their products and services whenever possible. Pride Run Phoenix wouldn’t exist without their invaluable contributions. Also, our thanks to all of you race participants, your friends and family who are here to support you, and all our spectators. It’s a humbling experience to have the privilege of producing Pride Run Phoenix for you year-after-year. We’ll see you at the finish line!
