ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Since it started in 1991, the Atlanta Pride Run has been raising money for local LGBTQIA+ organizations. The 5K run returns on June 4 at Piedmont Park.

Since it started, organizers say they have received “funding, resources, and increased awareness.”

“This is a place for everyone, whether you are just starting your journey, accomplishing new fitness goals or searching for a new community,” they said on their website.

The event kicks off at 8 a.m. in Piedmont Park on Sunday, June 4.

Organizers said the run will benefit three local charities: Aid Atlanta, Bridge of Light and Lost & Found Youth.

Atlanta News First is a proud media sponsor for the run.
