COVID-19 Update: Wednesday and Saturday Meet-ups Resume with Changes...
Members and Friends,
In light of the changes by State and Local Authorities to Community COVID-19 Precautions, the FRWFL Board has decided to resume our Wed Night and Sat Morning Runs/Walks with these important caveats:
*We respect everyone's decision to look after the health of themselves and their loved ones. If you choose not to attend we will miss you but respect your choice.
*While awaiting the workout (while we circle up) and throughout your workout please maintain the Social Distance Conventions we've all become accustomed to.
*If you feel unwell or think you might have been exposed to COVID-19 please do not attend.
*Due to the early closing time of Holiday Park, until further notice our Wednesday Run/Walk will be at 7:00 PM.
*Saturday at the Pride Center remains at 7:30 AM.
*Sunday will remain on hold.
*Be Advised the drinking fountains and restrooms at Holiday Park are CLOSED. Winn Dixie on Federal is probably the closest restroom option.
*We will not resume dining together at this time.

Member's Spotlight
My name is Sergey
New Race Coordinator
Hello, fellow Runners & Walkers of Fort Lauderdale and our friends!
My name is Sergey and I'm a new Board Member in the Race Coordinator position. I want to introduce myself. Some facts about me:
I started running in the Spring of 2016 and since then, I can't imagine not running. In 2019 I had my personal best on all distances: 2:56 for Marathon, 1:22 for Half Marathon and 0:37 for 10k. I'm originally from Siberia, moved to Florida at the end of 2019.
My next major goals: run a half marathon under 1:20, participate in the TCS New York City Marathon and perform my first Triathlon.
IN THE NEWS
Front Runners & Walkers Mark 30th Year with Party
October 27, 2019
Submitted by Front Runners & Walkers Fort Lauderdale
Front Runners & Walkers Fort Lauderdale (FRWFL) is celebrating their 30th year in Broward County. To mark the occasion, they are hosting a free community celebration at the Stonewall Museum on Wilton Drive on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 from 7 to 9 PM. No RSVP is necessary to come enjoy wine, beer and hot hors d’oeuvres. Club memorabilia as well as video and photos will be displayed.
In 1974 Lavender U was formed in San Francisco to provide a setting for gays and lesbians to participate in track and field events especially running. That same year Patricia Neal Warren published The Front Runner, a groundbreaking novel about gay love in the sports world. In honor of this book Lavender U was renamed The San Francisco Front Runners. A signed, first edition of the book will be on display at the museum. Read the entire article
