Dublin Front Runners A.C.

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.
