Our club hosts a number of weekly walks. Walking is great exercise and provides an opportunity to discover our beautiful city and enjoy friendly conversation. DC Front Runners holds walks on Saturday mornings, Tuesday evenings, and federal holidays, although walkers are free to show up and walk at regularly scheduled runs as well. Some of the walkers set a brisk pace and walk four miles, but we encourage anyone of any ability to walk with us, and we make sure you won’t walk alone. So don’t be shy...we’re here to help you have fun and we’ll make sure that you will feel welcome!

You do not have to be a member to try our walks. At each scheduled walk, a coordinator will greet you, introduce you to the other walkers and help you find someone to walk with. Generally, between four and 15 walkers will show up on Saturday mornings and two to four people on Tuesday evenings. Turn-out drops when the weather is wet or cold, but walks are never cancelled. Out-of-town visitors are always welcome to join us, whether you are a member of another Front Runner club or just want to walk and socialize.

The club occasionally hosts a “Welcome Newcomers Fun Run and Walk” inviting interested runners and walkers to try one of our club runs or walks. You’ll have an opportunity to meet our members and ask your questions about our club. However, come to any of our weekly runs/walks if you are unable to attend these events!

On the schedule to the left, please note that our Tuesday night walk meets at 23/P Street in the spring and summer, or at Union Station for a stroll among the monuments on the National Mall in the fall and winter. Saturday morning’s 3-or 4-mile walks in Rock Creek Park provide great opportunities to socialize afterwards with all members of the club. Tuesday’s walks are usually smaller, but a great way to meet new people.
