Go: Pride, Beatles, wine, painting and physics

1. Rainbows for all

Open to all, the annual Saturday in the Park Pride event celebrates the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Clark County and their families in a picnic-like setting in Esther Short Park, 301 W. Eighth St, Vancouver.

It begins with the annual Lyle’s Myles 5K run and walk at 9:15 a.m., which benefits Martha’s Pantry, Global Partners for Development and the Cascade AIDS Project. The annual race started as a way for local denizen Lyle Smith to finish first, as anyone who crosses the finish line before him is disqualified. The 5K starts and ends in Esther Short Park. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, and to create gimmicks and teams. Trophies are given to the fastest disqualified in each age group. Race-day registration opens at 8:30 a.m., with $15 to register. runsignup.com/Race/Events/WA/Vancouver/20thAnnualLylesMyles5KRunWalk

The group of women will gather at 10:45 a.m. at the park’s clock tower. 360-702-7929 or www.meetup.com/L-Connection.
