About Frontrunners
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.
About Us
Arizona Frontrunners began in the Phoenix area in 1999. 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.
Arizona Frontrunners was officially incorporated in 2001. We have trail runs Wednesday afternoon, and Tuesday and Friday mornings. Thursday afternoon is a run around Tempe Town Lake. The Saturday morning run/walk is our most popular event with runners and walkers of all. After our Saturday morning run, we meet for breakfast.
Arizona Frontrunners is dedicated to promoting physical fitness for all people at all fitness levels. We have people who run and walk at many different levels. Because of interest expressed by our members, we also have monthly hikes. Unlike most Frontrunners organizations around the world, we do not have a membership fee. Our operating expenses are covered by the money we raise by sponsoring the annual pride run.

We hope you will join us for an event soon.
