UpNorth Pride Events

Rainbow Run

Created by UpNorth Pride Contact

TART Trails and Up North Pride are hosting the annual Rainbow Run, a color fun run and fundraiser around the Boardman Lake Loop Trail. On June 20, 2026, the event will celebrate the trail systems and the Northern Michigan 2SLGBTQ+ Community during Pride Month. 

NOTE: The starting and ending location has changed due to construction and safety concerns at Hull Park! We will gather at Right Brain Brewery (225 E. Sixteenth Street) to start and end the loop.

The run/walk route will take participants counterclockwise around the 4-mile Boardman Lake Loop Trail. There will be five distinct and separated stations along the route for participants to receive their colors.
