In 1996 three gay triathletes founded The Pride and Remembrance Run, an annual 5K fund-raising run/walk coinciding with Toronto's Pride Week. It was dedicated to partnering the themes of PRIDE and REMEMBRANCE with community celebration and personal achievement.
The Pride and Remembrance Run has become an annual tradition promoting and fostering community spirit, goodwill, volunteerism and sportsmanship in the LGBT community.
Everyone has their own reason for participating in the Run. Some run for the athletic challenge, others to raise funds for charity... there are also many people participate to honour the memory of someone who has touched their lives.
