Team Chicago

Team Frontrunners is a subgroup of Frontrunners, that has two purposes: 1) to serve the Frontrunner members who train with specific running goals in mind by offering additional training groups and the support of a team environment 2) Offer a competitive outlet for those Frontrunners who enjoy racing. Through these two purposes Team Frontrunners' mission is to increase club interest and participation in racing; we welcome and encourage the involvement of members of all ability levels.

Focus Races

A focus race is a race (or two) each month that the club chooses to encourage as many people as possible to attend. The focus of the event is participation regardless of ability level. Races are typically followed by brunch, either at a restaurant or a potluck at the home of a fellow Frontrunner. For races outside of Chicago carpooling is often coordinated, talk to a board member for details.
