STRAVA Club for FRFWPHX
Frontrunners & Frontwalkers Phoenix now has our own club on STRAVA!
If you are unfamiliar with Strava, it is a social networking mobile and desktop app that tracks your route data and compares your ventures with friends and fellow athletes. Any GPS device such as smartphones, smartwatches and sports watches can be used to track your runs or walks and can be manually or automatically uploaded to STRAVA. It is a great way to not only follow friends and club members, but it is also a great way to discover new routes and to encourage others in their efforts.
To get started, download the mobile app and create a personal account. Once complete go to clubs and search for "Frontrunners Frontwalkers Phoenix" and then join.
