Good luck to all! Sin~jf'\ / Edw~~I. ~~ ~ Mayor �Front Runners NY and the New York Native welcome you to the second annual Gay Pride Run. It is anticipated that Gay Pride Run will continue to be an important part of the Gay & Lesbian Pride Week activities and the New York running scene. The defending Gay Pride Run '82 champions and race record holders are Remulus Delle Valle of Millrose Athletic Club who finished in 25:13 and Susan Foster of Front Runners NY who completed the course in 31 :49. Front Runners NY, a running club for gay men and lesbians, was founded in October 1979, and the initial group of nine members has grown to more than 350. The club meets every Saturday morning and Wednesday evening for a fun run of up to five miles, as well as special Sunday fun runs and long runs. Under the club bylaws, officers are elected once a year, and club business is conducted at an open meeting held on the last Wednesday of each month. Dues paying members receive a monthly schedule of runs, a newsletter that reviews club activities and special events, and a membership directory. Front Runners compete individually and on teams in races throughout the year. 23 members of the club completed the 1982 NYC Marathon, 15 coed teams entered the Trevira Twosome, and 11 members competed in Gay Games I in San Francisco. In addition to running, members meet socially for holiday and special parties, potluck dinners, cultural events and occasional weekend trips to visit Front Runners clubs in other cities. • Registered investment advisor and financial planner for businesses and individuals. • Tax-sheltered investments, IRA and Keogh plans • Comprehensi ve accounting, tax planning and tax preparation services • Mutual funds and variable annuities • Real estate services • No account too small All runners are welcome to join in the activities of the club, whether beginners or experienced.

When I read your attractive race entrance application, I was particularly thrilled to see such items as "with cooperation of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and the New York Road Runners Club" and "Course is certified and TAC sanctioned," but what struck me most was the line that read "OPEN TO EVERYONE." I applaud you for g~v~ng credence to the fact that the gay movement, shaken from inertia by the Stonewall Riots in 1969, has indeed moved. The words "Open" and "Cooperation" should serve us well, and it would certainly be encouraging to believe that those words might characterize the movement throughout the 80's and beyond. As I looked over the map of the course to be used for the Run, I began remembering the same route when I lived in New York. I was competing for the New York Athletic Club, and a portion of the course can be viewed from their magnificent facility on Central Park South. photo John Stern DON'T STOP. lmmer streben. I tried to imagine such a race taking place back in those closeted days, and I concluded that it probably would have been a Stonewall of its own. I wondered whether I would have joined the race. But here we are today, and it is happening: of our identity and our visibility. I view Gay Pride Run '83 in New York and the Gay Games in San Francisco as pursuing parallel directions and realiz~ that through these events we have uncovered the great potential of athlet~c participation as an expansive statement on the quality of our lives.

The most important thing to remember is go out easy. Once you get over the pre-race jitters the adrenalin is likely to make you feel stronger and you might try to keep up a faster early pace than you should. Don't make the mistake so many newer runners and experienced ones, too make of trying to stick with people that are too fast for you. 7 If you decide to run with a training partner or another newcomer, fine. However, make an agreement beforehand that if one or the other feels the pace is either too slow or too fast you wi11 run your own race. You'll stay friends that way (You won't be resenting one another's too fast or too slow pace) and you'll also have an evenly-run and more successful race. It's wise not to eat for at least three hours before the race and then something light and easily digestible. Load up (that doesn't mean pig out, though) on carbohydrates two or three days beforehand. And despite what you hear about name runners' predeliction for junk food, you'll be stronger with fruits than cookies. and you don't have to load up to the extent of someone running a marathon. Five miles won't deplete even the newer runner that much. Drink water at least half an hour beforehand and leave yourself enough time to hit the Port-o-San before the starting horn goes off. Take water at every water stop whether you're thirsty or not. The odds are it will be a comparatively warm running day this time of year and dehydration can be one of the 5 Mile Course ~ ~~~·~",:."" Central Park, New York City ( Central Park West L r- \ -t ro Q_ Reservoir "§ c (]) 0 II Fifth Avenue biggest enemies of runners. You don't have to drink it all; you can throw some over your head, too. Fold the lip of the cup so water won't fall out if you want to sip as you run a ways. The Central Park hills can be tough. If you're a new racer and are starting to feel tired after 3 or 4 miles there's no law against slowing down or even walking the Cat Hill (72nd & the East Side, about a mile from the finish) or the other hills. The recovery period might make you finish stronger than you would otherwise. Set yourself intermediate goals along the course. That helps psychologically to make the distance seem less formidable. Get a very good night's sleep two days before the race to insure you're reasonably rested. You might be hyper and have trouble sleeping the night immediately before it. With these precautions you should finish your first five-miler in reasonably good shape. Time isn't IRC g E. sg st. Ir. 'East 90th Street • )) : (( \\\ ~\ Start and Finish important in your first race. Finishing it is what counts. If you don't then you still have your first race to finish. Then it could provide a springboard to heavier training, added mileage and a greater enjoyment of running. Enjoy and easy does it. On the Run by Susan Foster Women's Vice President, FRNY As the '83 version of the Gay Pride Run approaches, it's difficult for me to remember back to the old days. Those were the times when a Saturday morning fun run would consist of possibly 5-1 0 people and as the run ended we would have the tough decision of where to have brunch. Now, of course, we average 50 or so Front Runners each week and our size severely limits our choice of restaurants. I also can remember how I became resigned to the fact that I was to be the "token lesbian" of the club. I wasn't completely discouraged by II~ \_J such a distinction, however. I had faith that the lesbian community would come to realize the value of the Front Runners organization. Well, it has taken a bit of time, but I think I can safely say that at any given run, you will find a noticeable number of women. We may still be in the minority, but our liveliness helps make up for our lack in numbers. Some lesbians may be slightly put off by the teeming masses of men in the club, but I can't think of a more supportive group of men. The guys in this club go out of their way to insure that all women feel welcome. I can personally attest to many of our members' cheerleading abilities. They have helped push me through numerous finishing stretches. I am encouraged by the large number of women already entered in this year's race and I hope it will result in an influx of new faces at upcoming fun runs. In any case, I hope you havE: a good Gay Pride Run. �~ ~ ~ HENRY WALTER WEISS ~ I (f) 4519 LINCOLN BUILDING 60 EAST 42"o STREET PECK & HELLER & WEISS Cll v NEW YORK,N.Y.IOI65 COUNSELORS AT LAW 212-682-5675 -· v (I) (212) 475-2175 MARC RUBENSTEIN, M.D., P.C.
