Established in 2018, The OutRunners bring together LGBTQIA runners in Columbus, Ohio. We are affiliated with FrontRunners International. Our goal is to provide positive experiences for our members and allies through running, walking, and club events in a friendly and supportive group. Some of our members regularly run races from 5k up to ultra-marathon distances. Others might have different goals such as miles in a week, month, year or completing non-racing challenges, but overall, we aim to improve our fitness and have fRUN together.
