Got a bit of a backlog to post so here's some snaps of our runners and walkers soaking up the sun ☀️ (when available) 🫩

Some mighty Mondays, super Saturdays, and some pics from our Women's+ Wednesdays (first Wednesday of every month!). We love alliteration around here almost as much as we love running. 😉

As we get a little bit more sunshine every week, it's never been a better time to come along for a run or a walk. 🥰 All paces and levels of experience are welcome! 😌

Just drop us a DM and come along. Nothing else required except a good pair of shoes and a good attitude. 🌟

We've had such a flurry of activities in the past while that we've got a backlog of pics we had yet to post so let's just call this Q1 👌

Some great running 🏃 and briskwalking 🚶‍♀️, a special guest visit from our mascot 🐶, some fantastic strength and conditioning classes 💪 with @poweredbyrory, and some excellent food at the @marinamarketcork. ✌️

Things are only going to get even better as we come into Summer 🌞 so there's never been a better time to come along and join us! We run every Monday at 7pm at Kennedy Park and every Saturday at 10am at the Marina market car park.

Huge thanks to Sports Direct for having us at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday for the launch of the new Nike Pegasus 42 runners!

We put it through its paces with some high-intensity sprints and the best part? Every one of our runners got to keep their pair! 🎁

Huge shoutout to two of our members, Fery and Jason, who absolutely flew and secured spots in the Top 10! 🏆

Surf, Turf 'n' Tar 2026 🌊 🍃 🏃

It was another fabulous weekend in Rosscarbery and made all the better by such wonderful company! This was the biggest delegation of Frontrunners we've ever sent down to West Cork and we hope to make it even bigger next year.

A fantastic race unlike any other and one of our favourite events of the year. Well done to the organisers @surfturfntar and we'll most definitely be seeing you again next year!

After the race we all gathered in @celticrosshotel to refuel and celebrate another successful year on the coast. The "Turf" might have been tough, but the company was top-tier as always! 🏅✨

So nice to have the sun shining on a Monday evening run! 😎

If you ever want to start running (or briskwalking) as the weather gets even better then feel free to tag along for one of our weekly runs on Mondays at 7pm and Saturday at 10am. 👌

Never too early to get hyped for the summer! 🌞

... and POSE! 📸

It's been a whole year since we released our club kit. Over the years since we started our humble running club we've had red, orange, yellow, green, blue and finally purple.

Having reached the end of the rainbow 🌈 we commemorated our journey with a photoshoot with the extremely talented @marie_keating_photo_and_film

Thanks so much to Marie for her amazing work (which you will see more of soon 👀) , to the @gayprojectirl for helping us since the start, and to everyone who's ever laced up and ran or brisk walked with us over the years!

Now that we've reached the end of the rainbow who knows where we'll end up next... 😁

Happy Briskmas everyone! 🎉

Last Friday we celebrated 4 years of our beloved Briskwalkers with a walking tour of Shandon led by our very own Brian and JQ. Following that we stopped in O'Sullivans for some delicious cake to mark the occasion. 🎂😋

A fabulous evening! Here's to 4 more years (at least) of fun, friendship and most importantly briskwalking!

Belfast and furious! 🚢

Finally getting around to posting about our fabulous club trip up to Belfast!

We joined the @belfastfrontrunners for their weekly run, taking in the sights from the C.S. Lewis statues to the grounds of Stormont. The rest of the weekend was spent soaking up the best the city has to offer, from fine dining and Black Cab tours to the Titanic Museum and, of course, a night at @themaverickbelfast!

Huge thanks to the Belfast crew for being such incredible hosts and showing us the ropes. It was a weekend full of culture, and community.

We can’t wait to return the favor when you’re next down south! 🏃‍♂️🌈✨
