Our club hosts a number of weekly walks. Walking is great exercise and provides an opportunity to discover our beautiful city and enjoy friendly conversation. DC Front Runners maintains a regular schedule of walks on Saturday mornings, Tuesday evenings, and federal holidays, although walkers are free to show up and walk at regularly scheduled runs as well. Some of the walkers set a brisk pace and walk four miles, but we encourage anyone of any ability to walk with us, and we make sure you won’t walk alone. So don’t be shy...we’re here to help you have fun and we’ll make sure that you will feel welcome!
You do not have to be a member to walk with us. At each scheduled walk, a coordinator will greet you, introduce you to the other walkers and help you find someone to walk with. Generally, between four and 15 walkers will show up on Saturday mornings and two to four people on Tuesday evenings. Turn-out drops when the weather is wet or cold, but walks are never cancelled. Out-of-town visitors are always welcome to join us, whether you are a member of another Front Runner club or just want to walk and socialize.
On the schedule to the left, take note that Tuesday's meeting place varies depending on the time of year. Saturday morning’s 3-or 4-mile walks provide great opportunities to socialize afterwards with all members of the club. Tuesday’s walks are usually smaller, but a great way to meet new people.
