London
Frontrunners is London's gay running club.
Started
with a small group of like-minded individuals who gathered
for a run on a Saturday morning in Hyde Park the club has
developed into a hugely successful gay and lesbian running
club with over 200 members.
London
Frontrunners is part of a world-wide network of gay and
lesbian "Frontrunners" running and walking clubs.
The name "Frontrunners" was inspired by Patricia
Nell Warren's novel The Front Runner, a
story about the relationship between an ex-Marine track
coach and his Olympic athlete training for the 1976 Olympic
Games.

An increasing
number of London Frontrunners are successfully competing in races
internationally, in the U.K and around London. Our club
has built up a strong reputation amongst the running community in the
South of England, in road racing, cross country events and over the
fells. London Frontrunners also organises its own annual 10 kilometre
race. The 4th London Pride Run held in August last year attracted
approximately 400 runners and we hope to increase the number this year
in its 5th anniversary.
