Blue Dress Run 2026 – Run, Drink, Advocate!
Last year, we came together in a sea of blue, raised $11,000 for The Trevor Project, bringing our total since 2024 to $18,250 donated! We proved that our community is louder and prouder than ever. With your support, we’re keeping the momentum going for another year of running, revelry, and resistance!

The Blue Dress Run isn’t just about having a great time (though we do that exceptionally well). It’s about taking a stand against bigotry, creating a space for LGBTQ+ inclusion, and showing our community that we will not be silenced. So, throw on your best blue dress, lace up your shoes, and join us for a weekend of hashing, camaraderie, and giving back.

Why We Run
The Blue Dress Run is more than just a pub crawl. It’s a chance to push back against hate, celebrate our LGBTQ+ friends and allies, and support organizations making a real impact. This year’s proceeds will again go to The Trevor Project, helping provide crisis support and suicide prevention services for LGBTQ+ youth.
