The Pride Run will begin and finish at the Forks Festival grounds. All routes start and finish at the Orientation Circle at The Forks (marked red in the map below). The 3km distance is one lap of the route and the 6km distance is two laps of the route.

IMPORTANT: The course will go through the Winnipeg Pride Festival site and The Forks Market patio, please be mindful of visitors of The Forks and the Pride Festival.

CAUTION: The course is a mixture of dirt, gravel, grass, and concrete trails. There are surface tree roots along the path, steps, and some sections require participants to proceed single file. Please be careful and respectful of others.

PARKING: There is ample parking at The Forks parkade and local surface lots.

2026 Pride Run shirts, designed by Joan Ballester, feature the Winnipeg city skyline and the colours of the Progress Pride Flag.

The Progress Pride Flag combines the Rainbow Pride Flag with the Transgender Flag along with black and brown stripes that represent Black, Indigenous, and people of colour (BIPOC) in the 2SLGBTQ+ community as well as community members who have died from, or are currently living with, HIV/AIDS.
