Welcome Home 5k Run/Walk 2026

The Welcome Home 5k Run/Walk is an annual pride-themed run, walk, and yoga event within the Palmer Park Event Series. The race features a 5k distance, with yoga offered, and the series also includes an 8k and a 1-mile run/walk. The event raises support for People for Palmer Park, a nonprofit focused on the preservation, revitalization, and long-term viability of Palmer Park. It also supports the Ruth Ellis Center, which provides trauma-informed services for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, particularly young people of color, those experiencing homelessness, and individuals in the child welfare system.
