Mission
Founded in 1991, Front Runners Atlanta created the first LGBTQIA+ run in the Southeast to support those affected by HIV. Meeting in secret due to hostility, they built a community through running. Originally the Gay and Lesbian Pride Day Run, it became Atlanta Pride Run in 2002 and Pride Run ATL in 2024. This run was created out of necessity. Our founding members were tired of losing people they love from HIV and no one was doing enough about it. Since 1991, participants have raised over $370,000 for HIV/AIDS services in Atlanta. Every registration supports local charities fighting HIV and AIDS.
Pride Run ATL creates beauty out of tragedy by donating all proceeds to local HIV charities like AID Atlanta, Bridge of Light, Lost + Found Youth, and Inclusive Recovery to raise awareness and support for the ongoing struggle for equality.
Join us for a run that celebrates the strength, perseverance, and love of the LGBTQIA+ Community.
