Night Runners WPB is hosting its fourth annual Pride 5K on June 8 in downtown West Palm Beach. The route will take runners “along the beautiful waterfront landing.”
New this year is an Athlete's Village / Health Expo, with 60 vendors signed up to participate. The expo is free to attend. Vendors include CAN Community Health, Compass Community Center, Transpire Health, Metropolitan Community Church, PRISM, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Connie House and more.
“This annual event continues to grow, thanks to the support by our community members and businesses. This year, Vita Nova has been selected as our Charity Partner,” said TJ Sheinberg, a member of the Nightrunner’s board. “Vita Nova provides a safe bridge to independence for former foster care and other homeless youth through supportive housing, education, employment, and life skills training.”
Night Runners WPB was founded in 2016 as an LGBTQ-friendly run/walk club. They meet Mondays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. at 1302 Parker Avenue in West Palm Beach. The first Pride 5K took place in 2021 as a virtual event due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Last year the event moved from Lake Worth Beach to West Palm Beach with about 300 registrants.
The event takes place June 8 at 6:30 p.m. in downtown West Palm Beach. Visit www.nightrunnerswpb.com for more information.
