Rainbow Dash isn’t your average community run—it’s a day built around inclusion, joy, and support for LGBTQIA+ youth. This event features a certified 5K course through scenic Seneca Park, designed for runners, walkers, and rollers of all abilities. The loop is accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, with plenty of rest stops and clear course markers.
But Rainbow Dash goes beyond the finish line. Throughout the morning, you’ll find playful “Wacky Race” challenges—think costume relays, obstacle segments, and interactive pit stops where teams can earn prizes for creativity, teamwork, and spirit. Whether you’re competitive or just out for a good time, there’s something for everyone.
Proceeds benefit Louisville Youth Group’s year-round programs for LGBTQIA+ youth, so every step and laugh makes a difference. Come as you are, bring your friends, and celebrate community with us.
