Schedule - Front Runners & Walkers

Front Runners & Walkers San Diego has several opportunities to walk and run throughout the week. Even if you’ve been active for years, join us to meet new people or to challenge yourself to new routes and new paces. If you’re starting out and need support and advice – come meet us and join the group!

And if you’re visiting, what better way than to see Balboa Park or explore the downtown with a run through the Gaslamp, Embarcadero and the Waterfront?

Schedule

We’ve been meeting under the tree at 6th Avenue & Laurel Street for 40 years! Don’t be bashful – come meet some new friends.

Weeknight Runs: Beginning June 15, 2021, Tuesdays & Thursdays, we run at 6 pm. Members gather about 10 minutes prior at the southeast corner of Sixth Avenue and Laurel Street.

Summer Bonus Weeknight Run: Wednesdays at 5:30 pm. Meet at Belmont Park (south of the restrooms) at Mission Beach. Run the inner loop of Mission Bay and along the Mission Beach Promenade for 5 – 8 miles.

Saturday Runs/Walks: Meet at 6th Avenue and Laurel at 8 am for announcements and pre-run stretching. Group meets for breakfast after the run. The informal spot is at the HUB in Hillcrest, where we support BCB Cafe, or bring coffee and food from around the area.

Alternate Location: (when a large public event conflicts with our Sixth and Laurel Saturday meet up): The War Memorial Building at the north end of the Zoo parking lot. See our Facebook feed on this page for the latest information. LIKE us on Facebook so you never miss an update! Members get frequent updates

Sunday Long Run: The Sunday schedule is developed based on training needs. Training groups meet at various points throughout the city to build mileage while enjoying the great San Diego scenery. See Facebook calendar for the current and upcoming schedule.

North County Runs: Members in North County meet Saturdays at 9 am at MaGee Park in Carlsbad: the corner of Coast Highway and Beech Street, in front of Heritage House on the south side. You’ll see us holding down the park bench just at the edge. Join us for a run or a walk, some on the beach, in beautiful Carlsbad.
