CODE OF CONDUCT

This Portland Frontrunners (PFR) Code of Conduct provides guidance and inspiration for us to make sound, ethical choices, and to meet our organizational goals. As PFR Members, we are accountable for the integrity of our decisions and actions in our activities. This Code of Conduct provides a foundation of expectations for us as members.

  • Always show respect to your fellow club Members at all times;

  • Always show respect and appreciation for the volunteers who give their time to help the club and/or event(s);

  • Never yell, taunt, or threaten physical violence upon another Member of the club, volunteer, or event spectator (Members with a criminal history of violence or with a legal restraining order against them by another Member may be barred from membership and/or participation in all club activities);

  • Never use abusive or vulgar language, or make racial, ethnic or gender-related slurs or other derogatory comments at club events;

  • Never make unwanted sexual or physical contact with other members (Members found to be listed on a sex offender registry, convicted of a sex crime, or caught having, creating, or distributing child pornography will be immediately barred from membership and all participation in club activities.);

  • Always abide by race rules and engage in fair competition, which includes anti-doping compliance, no course cutting, or other means of gaining a competitive advantage that is considered cheating when participating in club races or other races where you may represent the club by wearing a club-branded singlet, shirt, uniform, etc.

  • Always report violations of this Code of Conduct policy to the Board via our contact page.

BENEFITS

As a member, you will have:

  • A subscription to our monthly Newsletter.

  • Access to member-only events such as Lodge Weekends, the Bridge to Bridge Fun Run & Walk, and the Annual Meeting.

  • A 10% discount at all Foot Traffic locations (mention that you are a Portland Frontrunner - they keep a list of paid members).

  • Occasional access to local employee stores and other product discounts.

Portland Frontrunners uses membership fees to:

  • Pay for our membership in International Frontrunners and Road Runners Club of America to provide the club with non-profit status, liability insurance, and increased visibility.

  • Fund the annual Portland Pride Run & Walk.

  • Provide regular member events such as movie nights, barbecues, and meet-and-greets.

  • Give back to the community through volunteer activities and charitable donations.

  • Cover miscellaneous expenses such as a PO Box, a storage unit, and state fees.

Your membership fee is good for the calendar year in which you join. If you join in October or later in the year, your membership is also good for the following calendar year. While membership is not required to join us for our weekly runs and walks, if you continue to come and enjoy the benefits, we hope you will join to help sustain Portland Frontrunners and its mission!
