San Diego's North County group for Front Runners, the international group for gay and lesbian runners and walkers.

<< SPECIAL NOTE: We will hold a 5K fun run-walk on Oct 10th in conjunction with the North County Pride, "Pride @ the beach!" event. We welcome anyone who is interested to come and run/walk with us. If you are interested, please click on the "Related Link" at the bottom of this page to find out more and to register. >>

The North County group conducts a weekly walk/run in the seaside community of Carlsbad every Saturday morning at 9:00. We’d love to have you come and enjoy the great sun and surf and comraderie of the group. You don’t have to be a member of Front Runners to join us – we welcome everyone.

Our Saturday get-togethers start at MaGee Park (corner of Coast Highway and Beech Street). We meet in front of Heritage House on the south side of the park grounds. You’ll see us holding down the park bench just at the edge of the beautiful park grounds.

For those that like the sand and getting up close to the surfers and beach lovers some of us run and walk right on the beach. If you prefer a harder surface some of our group usually walks and runs on the great sidewalks and the beach walk just south of downtown Carlsbad.

The walkers usually go south from MaGee Park down to the parking lot at the end of the beach walk. Runners often like to go on a little farther to the Power Plant or on to Tamarak Ave. The round-trip to the park is about 4 miles and to Tamark is about 5 miles.

After our run/walk we meet for coffee and talk at the Elyse coffee house on Coast Highway in Carlsbad.

As part of the total Front Runners International organization and Front Runners and Walkers of San Diego we can take advantage of many activities that are sponsored by these organizations throughout the year.

Please join us any Saturday and we’d love to have you join the north county chapter of Front Runners and Walkers San Diego.
