Hey Out Fitness Fam Mahlon here!
Earlier this year I had thought about starting a walk/run club through Out Fitness. JJ had found an LGBTQ run club that already existed, Front Runners, and said that I should check that out beforehand. I had heard from some community members that they knew about Front Runners but felt intimidated as it seemed to be all men and more of an elite running type of group. So I went with a friend to check it out. Fast forward six months I have been running with them almost every Saturday morning. There are walkers and runners. The route for running is typically around 2.5-4 miles and walking can be how ever far you want to go!
I can understand how it can be intimidating or scary to start something new, especially if you’re by yourself. The Front Runners group meets at the Edgewater Beach house at 9 am on Saturday. I am typically there every Saturday morning and I’m working on a way to be easily identified, probably an OutFitness t-shirt or sweatshirt. That way you will know who I am and are more than welcome to come up to me, say hi, and feel like you know someone! Regardless of whether you feel the need to do that all are welcome, the more the merrier!!
Hope to see you there!!
Happy exercising,
Mahlon
