Pride 5K: Walk, Run, & Roll Presented by The Project of the Quad Cities

Pride 5K: Walk, Run & Roll Presented by The Project of the Quad Cities returns to Moline, Illinois on June 27th.
The race begins at Bass Street Landing in a bustling waterfront area where the Mississippi River meets the Rock Island Arsenal. Participants will start their journey along the riverfront trail, surrounded by greenery and historic landmarks. As they run through downtown Moline, they'll pass by shops and cafes that offer a glimpse into local life on this sunny morning.
Now entering its fourth year, Pride 5K: Walk, Run & Roll has become more than just an event; it's a community tradition. Over the past three years, thousands of participants have run or walked to support The Project of the Quad Cities and their mission to promote inclusivity and education in the region. This race is not only about running but also a celebration of diversity and unity.
The course venue offers a challenging yet rewarding route through Moline's picturesque parklands. Runners will navigate hard, dry surfaces that are perfect for this time of year—though with UV index at very high levels, sun protection remains essential throughout the day. The 10K race follows a scenic loop around the river and downtown areas before heading back to Bass Street Landing.
The event kicks off early in the morning on June 27th, under clear skies but expecting temperatures ranging from 18.2C to 28.9C with humidity levels at 63.1%. A gentle breeze of about 12 km/h is expected, and there's a low chance of light rain during race day.
The Pride 5K: Walk, Run & Roll Presented by The Project of the Quad Cities offers three main distances for participants to choose from: a 5K, a 10K, or an option to run virtually. Registration fees are $33.75 for the 5K and 10K, while virtual participation costs $28.45.
