World of Warcraft Sets First Official Pride Event, Darkspear Dash, for Late June

Blizzard gives official status to a long-running player parade benefiting The Trevor Project.

Overview

  • Blizzard will fold the community’s Running of the Trolls into an in-game holiday called Darkspear Dash, marking WoW’s first official Pride event.
  • Datamining reported by WoWHead points to a route from the Echo Isles with an Event Coordinator portal to a parade that ends at Silvermoon City’s fountain, though details could change.
  • The same files suggest participation rewards like a tabard and a rainbow toy, with final rewards unconfirmed.
  • Silvermoon’s redesign in the Midnight expansion may gate access for some players, which could push organizers to adjust start or end points.
  • The player-run event on Feathermoon-US has raised thousands for The Trevor Project over 12 years, and official backing could broaden turnout and donations.
