About the Cincinnati Pride 5k
The race runs out of Lunken Playfield and leans hard into Halloween, with runners showing up in costume. There are awards for top finishers across gender categories, and the best solo and group costumes get recognized too, so the field looks more like a parade than a typical fall race.
Packet pickup happens at the playfield before the start. Afterward, the party moves to Streetside Brewery on Eastern Avenue, where a portion of every drink sold goes back to Pride. A food truck is on site, and dogs are welcome at the post-race gathering.
