Manchester FrontRunners

Possibly Manchester's friendliest running club! Part of the International Frontrunners network and fully affiliated to England Athletics, Manchester Frontrunners was founded in 2005 to offer a sociable and friendly place for runners to train and meet other like-minded folk in a supportive environment. Whilst the majority of our members are from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community, we are absolutely open to everyone and encourage participation from, and aim to provide access for all.

We meet twice a week on Thursday evenings in Manchester City Centre and on Saturdays in Chorlton. Both runs are designed with absolutely all abilities in mind, and are followed by a social activity (far more fun!). We also enter races as a club, and arrange regular socials...so why not get in touch or simply come along to one of our training sessions and see what you think.

Manchester Front Runners is committed to not being a "male-only social club," and we have a thriving community of lesbian/bi women who participate actively. We've spent the last few years actively promoting women's running, going as far as to win a North West Regional Athletics prize for our work in getting women involved in our club.

As a result we have an active women's section and a dedicated women's officer, and a range of activities including:
• Regular women-only runs and socials
• Women-only activity taster sessions
• and of course...Participating in the main club socials and events
Women-only runs

Our women-only runs and socials take place during the second week of each month. We currently organise a 4-6k run at slow and moderate paces from a member's house. After which we share a meal (the host cooks the most, but other members contribute snacks or drinks). These evenings are a relaxed and enjoyable way to catch up with other women in MFR and are a great way to meet other women members if you are new to MFR. If you haven't been before but would like to try a women's run and social just contact Heather or Caroline who would be happy to tell you more or meet up with you beforehand. There is no need to be shy, all women are welcome!
