About Stonewall Pride 5K & Drag Race 2026

The Stonewall Pride 5K and Drag Race 2026 closes out Pride Month on Saturday June 27, with the in-person fun run starting around 11 a.m. and a block party that runs until about 3 p.m. at Stonewall Columbus on North High Street. Now in its second year, this drag-fueled fun run sends Pride season off with costumes, community, and a celebration in the heart of the Short North. The route winds roughly a mile and a half through the Short North along High Street, and there's no pressure on pace, because this is a fun run, not a competitive race. A virtual 5K option lets you log your miles anytime during the month of June if you can't make race morning. After the run, the Drag Race Block Party takes over with drink specials, music, and costume awards including Best in Drag Excellence, so dress to impress and stick around for the celebration. Stonewall Columbus sits at 1160 N High Street, walkable from anywhere in the Short North and an easy rideshare or CoGo bike from downtown. Registration is handled in advance online through Stonewall Columbus, with both the in-person and virtual options available, so sign up early to lock in your spot and any race-day perks. Check-in opens before the 11 a.m. start, so arrive with time to grab your bib. Bring water, sunscreen, and a costume that can survive a mile-plus in the late-June heat. As the final big entry on the Columbus Pride 2026 calendar, it's a joyful, active way to send the month off proud.
