Annual Come Out & Run 5K
Join Wilton Pride and Wilton Library for the Third Annual Come Out & Run 5K celebrating PRIDE, diversity, inclusivity, and the spirit of unity in honor of National Coming Out Day. All are welcome to this community-wide, family friendly, pet friendly, event fostering camaraderie, empowerment, and, most importantly, support for our LGBTQIA+ community members and allies.
Part 5K, part community party, the event will feature music, festivities, food, flare, prizes, and much more. Runners, Walkers, Kids, Strollers and Leashed Dogs are welcome. Kids under 10 participate for free but still need to register. All 5k participants will receive a giveaway, digital race photos, post race festivities and more!
