So proud to have August 18, 2026 officially proclaimed “Front Runners and Walkers Day” by the City of San Diego! 🏳️‍🌈🏃🏽‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Of course, we celebrated the best way we know how—with a run and walk! ❤️

It was especially fitting that our club was founded in 1981 and 81 people joined us to celebrate. And our membership game winner, Debbie Stretches, has been part of the family since 1984! Talk about history! 🥰

A huge thank you to our friends and partners at In Motion Events, Milestone Running Shop, Gene Lee Skin Clinic and Roxanne Govari | Pemberley Realty for coming out to support us once again.

And most importantly, thank you to all of our members, past and present, who have helped build Front Runners and Walkers San Diego into the incredible community—and family—it is today.

Here’s to 45 years of running, walking, friendship, community and pride. And here’s to many more! ❤️🌈

Happy Front Runners and Walkers Day! 🎉
