A running club for gay, lesbian, trans, non-binary people and our friends www.dublinfrontrunners.ie

Established in January 2005, the club is affiliated with the international network of Front Runner clubs around the world and is a member of the Athletics Association of Ireland. We share a love of running, with a healthy and active social side. No matter what your athletic ability, you will find members to run and train with. We have 2 runs each week, Saturday morning meeting starting at 10am at the Papal Cross in the Phoenix Park and Wednesday evening starting at 7:30pm at the Garda HQ in the Phoenix Park during the winter and the cricket club car park during the summer. If you're interested in joining why not just come along to one of the runs, drop anyone on the committee and email so we'll know you'll be coming and just in case there's a change of venue. Runs are usually followed by a social breakfast or pub grub nearby.

🏃‍♀️ We’re really getting into track! 🏃‍♂️

What a great evening at our Track Taster Session in Irishtown Stadium last night! There was loads of talent on show in the bleep test, javelin, long jump and high jump. We definitely uncovered a few hidden skills which we’ll be putting to good use in future! Watch this space👀

Big thanks to everyone who came along, and to our coaches Mike, Susan and Seanie for putting us through our paces💪

We’re already looking forward to more... which is good timing as we’ll be back at Irishtown Stadium on Monday evenings from 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫🌈

See you on the track! 💨

𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨 ᯓ★

To our Race Director Paul F. and his fabulous team who once again organised a very successful Pride Run and THE best lgbtq+ After Party Dublin has seen!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This was Paul’s second year as Race Director(as well as being on the club’s main committee), and we think he did an outstanding job. His hardworking crew worked tirelessly for months in preparation for our annual 5k charity race. It was bigger and better than ever and we simply could not have predicted how quickly it was going to sell out! Everyone worked extra hard to get everything over the line

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗥 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺:
John Byrne Assistant Director
Stephen McArdle Volunteer Management
Laura Cavanagh Ticketing + Sales
Matt Harold Financial Lead
Daniel Vazquez Garcia Procurement
Divinci Guerra After Party
Dave O’Hare Sponsorship
Andrew McCann Community Outreach
Damien McClean Communications

We must also thank our Chairperson Chris for his commitment to supporting and hosting this event, our Social Officer Gillian, our LinedIn Officer Sinéad, our unreal t-shirt designer Ger Byrne, and to club member Mark Armstrong who played an absolute blinder on the day. Maith sibh go léir👏

Thank you also to every single volunteer who gave up their time to support our charity race. We have a lot of the same volunteers every year and it really means the world to us. Amazing to give back to a club who has given us all so much throughout the years.

Next Up!👉 We are busy finalising figures, and in September we will be ready to present cheques to our charities with the funds that we’ve raised this year💪
