Vancouverfrontrunners.org just received a new and colourful makeover as part of a board decision to help keep Vancouver Frontrunners current and fresh.

After looking at our previous site design, newsletter template and other online channels, the board decided to bring our online presence into alignment with a fresh makeover of both our newsletters and website.

Now featuring our logo, easy access to social media channels, search functionality and various other improvements; we hope you find navigating our site easy, intuitive, and pleasant on the eye.

In the coming months, we also aim to upload engaging and relevant content to help better educate runners and walkers on the sport we love while also including features such as member of the month, video footage showing our regular run/walk routes and links to other websites we find helpful.
