Queer Run started in Rittenhouse Square in April 2022 as Monday evening runs to create inclusive running spaces for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We expanded to Thursday mornings at Love Park in December 2022. In October 2022, we launched Manayunk runs for queer communities in Northwest Philadelphia. In February 2026, we established pending 501(c)(3) status as a nonprofit organization.
Our Weekly Runs
Join us for one of our free Group Runs! We meet:
— Every Monday at 7pm at the center of Rittenhouse Square for a 3.1-mile run (1800 Walnut St)
— Every Wednesday at 6pm in Manayunk at Philadelphia Runner on Main Street (4358 Main St)
— Every Thursday at 6am starting at the southwest corner of Love Park for a 4-mile run (1569 JFK Blvd)
Every run, we stop halfway to regroup and stretch to build community and safe running practices.
