    This year, we had odd weather for the Pride Run. We waited for the race to start in the rain, but as we were walking to the start line, it began to clear and went straight to partly cloudy…and humid.

    The course starts by going up the Harlem Hills in the first mile or so and up Cat Hill around mile 4 or so with plenty of hills in between. There are all sorts of fun outfits that runners and spectators alike wear. My personal favorite was one spectator wearing a pink unicorn hat and rainbow hotpants.

    The humidity and sun combined were a killer this year, but all said I only missed by time goal by 4 minutes. The shirts this year are nice tech tanks that are, sadly, white…but the stitching is all done with rainbow thread which is a cute touch. At the end of the race, runners can grab rainbow bagels (or regular ones if that’s your thing), apples, and rainbow ice pops. There is also a line where you can pick up some free swag, but the line is so long I recommend grabbing it beforehand and sticking it in your checked bag or your pockets. Rewards are announced by drag queen which was also very fun.

    I’d run this race again and just hope for better weather. Register early because it sells out.
