The most important Ride of someone else's life!

Austin Front Runners has been a long time participant in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS, an awesome ride through the beautiful Texas Hill Country. We're an LGBTQ+ running group open to all fitness levels from walkers to experienced marathoners. But we're versatile and can ride bikes too!

The focus of the club is to bring runners together to support one another and network within our community. We have a great camaraderie and welcome all to the group. Members of the group participate in running events that are held locally, nationally, and internationally. Above all we offer one another friendly support.

We welcome you to join us for a run around Lady Bird Lake if you are new to Austin, have lived here for years, or even if you are passing through for a few days. We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 10am to run around Lady Bird Lake; right on the Mopac Pedestrian Bridge (Veterans Dr) on the North side of the lake near Austin High School.

Your donation to the ride will go directly to 9 local non-profit agencies assisting those in Central Texas affected by HIV and AIDS. There are more people in need than ever before, and the impact this fundraiser makes is huge. 

We're grateful for any donation you can share in our effort to help provide much needed services!  Or join our team, or volunteer as a part of the Pit Crew and see you out there!
