Learn To Run Participants Graduate

Vancouver Frontrunners were once again thrilled to work with the folks over at Health Initiative for Men (HIM) in hosting their 3rd ‘Learn To Run’ clinic.
Spanning over 10 weeks with 3 clinics per week, the goal is get non-runners from couch to 8km. Upon completing the clinic, participants were able to run the 8km course on Saturday morning – an amazing feat for just 10 weeks of training. Below are some of the photo’s where participants received their certificates and gift vouchers for graduating.

Well done, graduates! Hopefully we will see you back for more?

Be Fit, Be Fun, Be Yourself!

That motto could not describe Vancouver Frontrunners and Walkers any more accurately. We are an inclusive yet diverse club of runners and walkers of all abilities, providing a safe and friendly environment for the LGBT community and their friends.

Rain, hail or shine, we meet twice a week, every week of the year. Wednesday evenings we meet at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation center at 6.30pm, and Saturday mornings we meet at Brocton Oval in Stanley Park at 9.00am. Each location has a walking track, a 6km and an 8km track, so there’s something for everyone.

During Pride week we also host a 5km and 10km race for both walkers and runners, and this year’s registration details are coming out shortly. Stay tuned!

But it’s not all about running and walking, there’s a fun side to us as well! After our runs/walks we head out for brunch or dinner where you get a chance to mingle and socialize with fellow members. We also host a monthly social and have been known to throw a cocktail party, a ‘Learn to Curl’ event,  a celebration of Diwali, pre-Sun Run Carbo loading dinners – this month we’re heading to Robson Square for an evening of Ice Skating and Hot Chocolate!!!

So with spring just around the corner, why not dust of those shoes and come out to meet us? Membership isn’t a pre-requisite to join in and all are free to come and try us out.
