Groups & leagues

Same time next week? That's how friends happen.

A bar is great for a night out, but it's hard to get past small talk over loud music. A run club, a chorus or a game night gives you something to do together and the same faces every week, so by the third visit people know your name. Here are 115 LGBTQ+ clubs, leagues and regular nights in 16 cities, each with the month we last checked it was still running.

Not sure how to start? Read How to make gay friends as an adult, then pick one thing here and go three times.

Front Runners New York – Saturday Fun Run

Saturdays 10am (bag drop at Rutgers Church by 9:40am)

Central Park, across from the Daniel Webster Statue (Upper West Side)

The city's big LGBTQ+ running club. The Saturday run is the one they recommend for new runners and visitors, walkers come too, and there's a light breakfast social afterwards.

Front Runners New York – Brooklyn Tuesday Run

A relaxed loop of Prospect Park followed by dinner at a different neighborhood restaurant each week. A good way to meet queer Brooklynites.

Schedules are as each group gives them: monthly groups meet once a month, and seasonal leagues only in season. Times change, so check the group's own site before you go. Something wrong, or a group we're missing? Post in Friends & Community. Nobody pays to be listed.
