ABOUT BAYLANDS FRONTRUNNERS
BayLands FrontRunners is a primarily LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) running and walking club. Our home is in Palo Alto, so, when you are in the area: Please stop by.
It does not matter how serious or casual you are about your running and walking: First and foremost, we want you to have an enjoyable time in great company. You will always be welcome!
Some of our members participate in organized races – from 5K to ultra distance events – but that is not a must. Much more of our activity revolves around our Saturday fun run and walk, and, of course, around our many social activities. Just come and join us, you need not be a member.
We are a member of International Frontrunners umbrella organization and a registered member of USA Track and Field.
Our Commitment to Community
BayLands FrontRunners is committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive community for LGBTQ+ people and allies of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experience levels.
We believe movement, friendship, and community should be accessible to everyone. Whether someone is a longtime runner, casual walker, first-time attendee, or simply looking for connection, we want all members to feel respected, valued, and able to fully participate in club life.
We recognize that barriers to participation can exist across race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, body size, religion, socioeconomic status, and other lived experiences. We are committed to continually learning, growing, and working toward a club culture where all members feel a sense of belonging
