Wednesday means Rainbow Run for many of our runner Wednesday means Rainbow Run for many of our runners - we’re still running in small groups (6 runners max) and every runners signs up to attend - despite the cold and wet weather (and a few cancellations) we still had a good turnout tonight. As the light began to fade, my photography skills gradually got worse 😂 #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #autumnalrun #autumnshere

It’s bi-visibility day, and Stonewall have publi It’s bi-visibility day, and Stonewall have published new research on bisexuality in the UK. They show that bipeople are far less likely to be out to family, friends and colleagues. Here at #nfr we welcome people regardless of sexual or gender identity. Bi is often the overlooked part of the LGBT acronym, and our member Holly wrote a fantastic piece on our website last year about her own awareness and coming out https://newcastlefrontrunners.co.uk/member-bio-holly/ We are still running in Covid-secure groups through the latest restrictions - check our website for how to get involved #bivisibility #bisexual #lgbtrunners #internationalfrontrunners @international_frontrunners

We are looking forward to #parkrunUK coming back next month, even if it will be less sociable than before. Everyone needs targets for their running to keep them motivated. #runmotivation #lgbtrunners @international_frontrunners
Our Sunday trail runs are taking us to lots of hid Our Sunday trail runs are taking us to lots of hidden gems, like #Burradontower which we came across yesterday. “Burradon Tower is a ruinous tower house at Burradon, North Tyneside, England which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The tower, originally a three storeyed single square bay, was probably built about 1553 by Bertram Anderson.” #trailruns #exploring #historytours @international_frontrunners

We tried something a little different tonight - in We tried something a little different tonight - instead of our handicap run, we organised for runners to still do a timed 5k while not all running en masse! Setting small groups or solo runners off over 90 mins, we had 44 runners take part on the Town Moor - despite a beautiful sunset there was still a sting in the tail (typical for the Town Moor!) in the form of the wind! Was nice to see some familiar faces in passing, and to even get some cake at the end of the run 👍🏼🍰🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🏳️‍🌈 #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #newcastlerunning #5ktimedrun #windyrun #postruncake #newcastletownmoor

Sunday runs come round quickly, so it’s great to Sunday runs come round quickly, so it’s great to see so many members using their initiative and planning a route and offering their runs out for people to join them - sticking to 6 people max 👍🏼 groups and solo-runners ran 3-14 miles today, in Gosforth, at Weetslade Park, and out at the Coast! Perfect running conditions - cool and just about dry 🌧 and as always, we plan our runs so we can have a coffee afterwards ☕️ #newcastlefrontrunners #lgbtrunners #sundayruns #longsundayruns #sociallydistancedrunning #postruncoffee
