Frontrunners/Frontwalkers Chicago is a club for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transexuals and friends who are interested in running and walking together along Chicago's great open lakefront. We meet twice weekly, on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. and Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. We always start from the Totem Pole in Lincoln Park. See the course map for its location.
Movie In The Park
Come join FR/FW as we watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" as part of the Chicago Park District's Movies in the Park program. The movie starts at dusk and will be shown behind the Chicago History Museum. Arrive early to get primo lawn space. Bring your own snacks, a blanket or chair, and enjoy the show. (Warning: the bugs enjoy the dusk, too.)

Red Dress Run Recap
Our Red Dress Run was a huge success in what may turn out to be the first of many. About two dozen members donned red dresses on July 5. Many who showed up were fitted on the spot by Gisele and Marilyn off two laundry lines draped with various dresses. From sultry to traditional, everyone was able to 'get their gown on.' And there were souvenirs, too! Many thanks to Gisele B and Marilyn B and the tremendous effort they put into this event.
