Who We Are

The DCFR Pride Run Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization.

Our foundation, and the entire race, are run by volunteers from the community.

In 2024 we celebrate our 12th annual race, and we are excited to have our community back at Congressional Cemetery in June as we kick off Pride Weekend!

Our first objective is to plan a fun, diverse, and inclusive race where all our welcome. The second is to raise funds for some amazing local charities. Since our inception we have donated well over $250,000 to these well deserving charity partners and we are only just beginning!

Your constant generosity each year helps us to put on an incredible race while also giving back to our community, so THANK YOU one and all!

Would you like to join the DC Front Runners?

DC Front Runners is a running, walking, and social club for LGBTQ people and their friends in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. We are open to all people regardless of race, pace, age, gender, sexual orientation, or athletic ability. Our group is very diverse with respect to speed, distance, and intensity, and we encourage and support all who participate. While membership is encouraged, you do not have to join to give us a try! 

Our club has almost 400 active members. In addition to our group runs and walks, we sponsor many social events so you can make new friends and join other members for dinner, happy hour, or other activities. Some activity reductions are in place during the local pandemic restrictions.
