Davis PrideFest | 11th Annual Run/Walk for Equality
2025-06-08 08:00 - 14:00 | Central Park, 401 C Street, Davis, California, 95616
Little known fact … This is the event that started the return of the Davis Pride movement!

The Run/Walk for Equality was created as a way to honor and commemorate the experiences of those whose lives have been forever changed by bigotry and intolerance.
Every Run/Walk registration counts — Your registration fee and fundraising efforts help the Davis Phoenix Coalition sustain our education and advocacy programs, as well as assist with the funding and development of a resource center, to support the LGBTQ+ and ally residents of the city of Davis and surrounding areas.
The Davis Pride planning committee is excited to announce that we have once again partnered with ON YOUR MARK EVENTS to assist with the promotion, planning and execution of this years event.
Why the Run/Walk for Equality
On March 10, 2013, local Davis resident Lawrence “Mikey” Partida was the victim of a brutal hate-crime, targeted for his sexuality. An avid long-distance runner, Mikey relied on his love for running to help get him through the months of physical therapy and rehabilitation that were required after his assault, and back to his life. CLICK HERE for a short film by Dan Brunn entitled “Davisville: Anti-Gay Violence In A Small Town” regarding this horrific incident.
The Davis Phoenix Coalition board of directors and the Davis Pride planning committee invites runners and walkers alike to help raise awareness about the ongoing efforts needed by communities to prevent hate-motivated crimes. Your participation in the 11th annual Run/Walk for Equality will help to build a safer and more inclusive community for marginalized citizens throughout Northern California.

Part of the Addressing Bias, Bigotry and Discrimination at UC Davis Speaker Series. Read the article.
Don’t miss this critical conversation! Register today.
Featured Speaker: Isabel Wilkerson
Isabel Wilkerson, a Pulitzer Prize winner and recipient of the National Humanities Medal, is the acclaimed author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. In this groundbreaking book, she provides a profound analysis of America’s deeply entrenched social hierarchies, drawing insightful comparisons to caste systems in India and Nazi Germany.
About the Series: Heightened tensions stemming from the conflict in the Middle East have led to hate crimes and discriminatory incidents on campuses nationwide. Compounding these tragic events are the political climate and the resultant silencing of discourse. This has impacted our faculty, staff, and students, who need to collectively process these events. This Grand Rounds series hosted by the Department of Internal Medicine hopes to establish a safe forum where perspectives can be expressed and shared with thoughtful exchange of ideas. Nationally renowned experts and speakers in their respective fields have been invited to deliver this series. This Grand Rounds speaker series is funded through a grant, that was awarded to the Department of Internal Medicine, to address and combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of bias, bigotry, and discrimination.
