Road of Rainbows Pride 5K
About this race
This year's Road of Rainbows will occur on Saturday, June 6th, at the Brewer Fountain at the Boston Common.
It will mark the SIXTH annual running of Boston Theater Company's Road of Rainbows - the first athletic event of its kind in Massachusetts, where gender has no bounds. At ROR, you be YOU and run for YOU with love, support, and a team cheering you on!
The Road of Rainbows is an inclusive event that is as much about running as it is about showing off your inner unicorn. All genders are welcome, and it is for LGBTQ+ people and supporters.
