Welcome!
Frontrunners & Frontwalkers Phoenix is a running and walking club for the LGBTQ+ community and allies having an interest in health and well-being through staying active and coming together with social events. We are a local chapter of International Front Runners, an informal network of LGBTQ+ running groups around the world. Membership is open to everyone without regard to ability, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Join us for our weekly runs and walks!
Frontrunners & Frontwalkers Phoenix has a long and exciting history. We started our club in the Phoenix Metropolitan area in 1999 with three runners who came together to run once every two weeks. Since then, we have grown substantially and currently have three running and walking activities every week.
Frontrunners & Frontwalkers Phoenix is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization run by a Board of Directors elected by our Members. We are a member of International Front Runners, a consortium of over one-hundred Frontrunner chapters worldwide. Being an IFR member greatly expands our visibility and gives members access to a global network of gay-identified running organizations. We are also a member of Road Runners Club of America who issues our insurance and provides us with governing and running resources.

Thank you FRFWPHX!!!
Our February clothing drive was a huge success!
A very appreciative Thank You to all those who participated in our February clothing drive for Southwest Center!
Over 300 articles of clothing and shoes and accessories were collected.
Our very own member, Nick Conway, was there to accept the donations for I Have a Dream Boutique, who provides free clothing for all those who identify as part of the transgender and gender expansive community.
The Southwest Center is a non-profit comprehensive health and wellness clinic. They provide affirming and inclusive services to promote well-being and advance health equity for diverse communities and all those seeking compassionate care - especially people of color, LGBTQIA2S+ and Queer individuals, and those affected by HIV.
Everyone has the potential to make a difference in the world. When we are generous with our time, our talents, and our resources, we can help to create a better future for everyone. Thank you for choosing to make a difference through your donations.
