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.
Tortoise & Hare Sunday RUNday
For those looking for more socializing or perhaps adding a few extra miles to their weekly runs, we have been invited to join local business Tortoise & Hare Sports on their Sunday RUNday. They meet every Sunday at 6am at Tortoise & Hare Sports for 3+ mile run. Their address is 17570 N 75th Ave Glendale, AZ. All abilities are welcome from, you guessed it, tortoise to hare.

COVID-19 update: At this time we are having our regular weekly Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday Runs & Walks. We are mandating that everyone wear a mask at the circle-up and maintain social distancing. However, your mask may be removed during the run or walk. We also recommend that if you decide to go out to eat afterward, please limit group sizes to eight or less.
