Bringing together fitness, pride, and advocacy, Free to be Hue: Pride Run 2026 transformed the streets of Araneta City into a vibrant celebration of diversity, inclusion, and self-expression. Hosted by Araneta City as part of its annual Pride Series, the event welcomed hundreds of runners, advocates, allies, and community members who came together to champion equality while promoting health and wellness.

Adding to the excitement, Binibining Pilipinas Queens joined the celebration, lending their voices and support to the LGBTQIA+ community and inspiring participants throughout the run.

Athena by LoveYourself proudly supported the event by providing free condoms and HIV awareness information to participants. Through meaningful conversations and educational materials, the team helped promote safer sexual health practices while encouraging greater understanding of HIV prevention and the importance of regular testing.

More than just a fun run, Free to be Hue: Pride Run 2026 served as a platform for visibility, empowerment, and community engagement. Every stride taken reflected a collective commitment to building a more inclusive society—one where everyone is free to live authentically, celebrate their identity, and embrace their true colors with pride.
