San Francisco FrontRunners

Here's to an amazing weekend... Now onto the week. Here is your weekly source of all things FrontRunners that are coming in the days ahead! Special news and events are at the beginning of this post and regular, reoccurring events are on the lower half.

Special Events/News This Week:

-SFFR JOCK Fundraiser - Sunday, September 23rd - 3:00PM to 10:00PM: On Sunday the LOOKOUT will host our club for a fundraising event as part of their JOCK Sunday series. Join us there between 3 and 10 to serve jello shots, hang out with friends, and support the club! We are still seeking volunteers to serve jello shots to guests at the Lookout. If you are interested in being a sexy server, send an email our way: board@sffr.org. For full info on the event and our recently added Facebook event page for the event, head here (link). The more people we invite via facebook and other outlets, the more successful the event will be. And because it's later in the day, you'll have plenty of time to hit up Folsom beforehand!

*Special Announcement: It's coming up on October and we will be changing the direction of our Saturday runs/walks once again. Beginning on Saturday, October 6th, we will be walking/running the 1-2, 3, 4, and 5 mile courses in the reverse direction from what we have currently been doing. If you've done it before, you know the drill. If it's new to you, we will have people on each run helping lead the route.

*Special Announcement: We are seeking a host for the SFFR Halloween Party in October. If you are up for the challenge, or know anyone who might be, let the board know @ board@sffr.org! We are ideally looking for something somewhat central in the city or at least easy to get to using public transportation.

The following SF FrontRunners have birthdays this week: Andrew Nance (September 17th), Christopher Saldivar (September 18th), Anne Ludwig (September 18th), Terry Baransy (September 20th), Marcus Valera (September 21st), and Ken Katz (September 21st). Happy Birthday!

-Saturday Morning Walk/Run - 9:00AM: Meet at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park for a 1, 2, 3 (5K), 4 (6.5K), 5 (8K) mile run/walk.
