This fall, Point of Pride is proud to cheer on a team of trans, gender-diverse, and allied athletes as they take to the streets of Philadelphia, marking our first-ever charity team for this race!
From the 8K to the half marathon to the full marathon, our team of runners will take to the streets of Philadelphia with a shared purpose: helping expand access to gender-affirming care and support for trans people around the world.
Every athlete on Team Point of Pride brings their own story, motivation, and connection to this work. Some are seasoned runners chasing new goals, and others are challenging themselves to do something they've never tried before. Together, they're turning their miles into meaningful impact by raising critical funds for Point of Pride's life-saving programs.
Chris Mosier, Point of Pride board member, Team USA athlete, and returning team coach, shares:
"One of the things I love most about running is that there's no single way to participate. Whether someone is taking on their first 8K, tackling a half marathon, or training for 26.2 miles, every person on the start line has committed themselves to a goal that once felt out of reach. That's amazing.
What makes Team Point of Pride special is that our runners aren't just pursuing personal milestones—they're helping create opportunities for others. Every mile completed and every dollar raised helps connect trans people with the care, resources, and support they deserve. I'm excited to see this team bring that energy to Philadelphia for the very first time."
Please join us in cheering on these remarkable athletes as they make their 26.2 miles matter for trans people around the world!
