Looking for a great way to meet and walk, jog or run with other GLBT men and women? Arizona Frontrunners is dedicated to promoting physical fitness for all people at all fitness levels. Our group is comprised of first-time walking partcipants through seasoned marathon runners.

We do not have a membership fee. Our operating expenses are covered by the money we raise by sponsoring the annual Pride Run and through other fundraising events throughout the year.

We are currently meeting four times per week (locations and times shown in the right column). You do not need to make a permanent change in your schedule to participate. Just show up whenever you want to join us.

Our FIRST STEPS

Arizona Frontrunners began in the Phoenix area in 1999 and was officially incorporated in 2001. Three runners started the group by just meeting once every two weeks. Following the organization of other Frontrunners groups in the nation, they eventually started spreading the word and inviting more people. Since then the group has grown considerably, especially since we have made an effort to recruit more walkers.

About Frontrunners

Arizona Frontrunners is a chapter of International Front Runners (www.frontrunners.org). The Frontrunner organizations take their name from "The Front Runner", a novel by Patricia Nell Warren, which was first published in 1974. It is a love story about a proud, out, world-class college sprinter and his coach, and their struggle to compete in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. The first Front Runner group started in San Francisco in 1974 and adopted their name in 1978. The concept of an international organization began in 1986.
