Who we are

Brighton & Hove Front Runners was founded in October 2018 after one of our co-founding members posted in the LGBT Brighton & Hove Network Facebook Forum to see if there was any interest in a local LGBTQ Running Club. The decision was made to form a branch of Front Runners in Brighton and Hove.  From there a bunch of keen LGBTQ runners met up one evening a week and the rest, as they say, is history. 

There are over one hundred Front Runners clubs around the world and they are as diverse as where they are situated and we are happy to represent Brighton and Hove.We are a friendly group of LGBTQ+ and ally runners who meet at

  • 7 pm every Wednesday at the green area next to the King Alfred Leisure Centre car park

  • Weekly Sunday runs, at various places around Brighton and Hove

Our weekly club runs currently consist of an interval session, and two out and backs, at 30 and 40 mins.

You can choose at which level to get involved. We also do local races and hold regular social events. 

We are the biggest attendees of all the front runner groups at ParkRuns and members can normally be seen weekly for each of the 5 Brighton Runs. 

Once a month we do a ParkRun of the month in B&H and the wider Sussex region. We are a mixed-ability group and sessions are planned to keep people together and nobody is left behind.

As long as you can jog 5k in under 30 minutes without keeling over you will be fine, please see our beginners page for information.
