Run. Walk. BE PROUD.
Portland Frontrunners is a running and walking club for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual individuals, and their friends. Our mission is to promote good health and provide an opportunity for positive social interaction through running, walking, and club events in a supportive, LGBTQIA community in Portland, Oregon. Our largest events include hosting the annual Portland Pride Run & Walk and the Bridge to Bridge Fun Run & Walk.
Portland Frontrunners is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization run by a Board of Directors elected by our Members. We are a member of International Front Runners, a consortium of over one-hundred Frontrunner chapters worldwide. Being an IFR member greatly expands our visibility and gives members access to a global network of gay-identified running organizations.
