Shoreline Frontrunners invites the OCLB Chapter of the Great Outdoors to

Valentine's Day 5k Walk/Run

Saturday February 14, 2026 @ 9:00 AM

Starting point:

Bluff Park at Ocean and Redondo Ave. in Long Beach

When Henry met Alex, or Shane met Ilya? Come join us at a cross-club meet-and-greet this Valentine’s Day! The Long Beach Shoreline Frontrunners (SFRLB) invite the Great Outdoors OC/LB and all other chapters for a morning of fun and connection. We hope this event provides an opportunity for each club to check the other out while making new friends. We are thrilled to bring these two groups together; with their ultra-fun and activity-loving members, both clubs offer a complementary schedule of events and adventures.

The 5k walk/run is suitable for all fitness levels!  You can run, run/walk or just walk!


After the 5k, many of us go to brunch at a local eatery.  Just let us know after the run so we can get a head count and notify the restaurant(s).  NOTE: We expect a large turnout so it may take several restaurants to accommodate us.

About the Shoreline Frontrunners

Founded in 1984, the SFRLB is an LGBTQ+ oriented running and walking club rooted in community building and advocacy. As a chapter of a global community, they participate in marathons and athletic events worldwide and host the annual Long Beach Pride Run in May.

Banner activities include a weekly Saturday morning 5k on a mostly flat beach path—often drawing up to 60 members—as well as weekday evening runs on alternating routes. They also host monthly social activities, including brunches, Friday socials, and banquets. Past highlights include TopGolf, Naples Gondola rides, and a "Sexy Santa" bar crawl.

Whether you are a runner or a walker, all ages and expertise levels are welcome. Members also enjoy generous discounts from gear and local vendors.
