Imagine this: a run where rainbow confetti and drummers would greet the participants, where the winners would strut down a catwalk during the evening’s awarding ceremony, and where there’s also a Best in Costume prize. That kind of fun is all set for Pride Run 2024!

When and where will Pride Run 2024 be held?

A testament to its commitment to inclusivity and championing its malls as safe spaces for women, children, and the LGBTQIA+ community, SM Supermalls is working with RunRio to mount the first ever Pride Run 2024 during the early morning of June 22, Saturday at SM by the Bay, SM Mall of Asia Complex.
