                    <text>Sunday Membership Outreach Runs
What could be better than the current Frontrunners?? How about the current
Frontrunners with more new members!
The club has so much to offer, but can do more to let GLBT people in the
larger community know - so we 1ve come up with an ideaS it 1s called Sunday
Membership Outreach Runs. This will be a new fun run that will be added to
the calendar each week. Sundays at noon we 1ll gather outside the 3BIG CUP2
on 8th Avenue between 21st and 22nd St. - in our uniforms - for a casual run
through the streets of Chelsea and the Village. Covering 3 miles or maybe
4, we 1ll chat and jog in the most visible of ways, before returning to 8th
avenue to have a Sunday brunch together. By taking Frontrunners out of the
park and into the community, dozens of people who need us - who need the
community, who need the encouragement, and who need the wholesomeness - will
realize we are here, that we 1re fun, and that we 1re a great group to be a
part of.

lt 1s a fun occasion and a great goal -- Why not plan to make this a regular
part of your running week during the Outreach Season of April, May, and
June?
* Outreach runs will be held on all Sundays- even on Race days.
*As part of outreach we 1ll be leaving pamphlets at 3 Big Cup2 and3 Gym Club2 •
Also, a FRNY tank top will be left each week to beawarded based on a raffle
to someone whose left his or her name andaddress at the 3 Big Cup2 • This run
is open to men and women andplease let us know if you have other ideas as to
how we can get the wordout. .
* Finally, ifyou1d like to act as the Outreach Run leader one Sundayplease contact Mark Gilrain at mgilrainl@aol.com. We are looking for
leaders for May 1st, 8th, and 15th.2

Congratulations t o ·

FRONT RUNNERS NEW YIRI:·:.,.
on another great year!

�FROM \'OUR

~ACE

DIRECTOR

Thank you for running in the 24th annual Lesbian &amp; Gay
Pride Run. We at Front Runners New York welcome you and
hope you have a great morning with us. We are very proud that
we have been able to offer this race to the New York running
community for almost a quarter century. This continues to be
one of the largest races of it's a kind in the country.
We are also very proud and thankful for our friends at New York
Road Runners. Their commitment to Front Runners and this race
during Pride Week continues an association begun with the first
race in 1981. Thanks to Mary Wittenberg and her staff and most
especially to Claudia Pepe. We simply could not have a race of
this magnitude without their help.
We thank our corporate sponsors. HBO joins us for a third
consecutive year thanks to a loyal member of Front Runners.
Crunch Fitness International joins us for a second consecutive
year enabling us to offer one·year gym memberships to the
winners of our race, open and masters. Super Runners is helping
us out once again with a great deal on $20 gift certificates for age
group winners. First time corporate sponsors this year include
Commerce Bank and the NYC Sports Commission.
We thank our own FRNY members for their financial support of
this race, in particular Hun Kim whose generosity knows no
bounds.

It takes many people to put on a race like this one. Thank you to
Audra Farrell for her designs, Ian Granick for this program, Ted

Dear Fellow Runner/Walker,
On behalf of the entire membership of Front Runners New York,
thank you for coming out to run the 24th Annual Gay and

Orzechowski, for his boundless energy and dedication to Front
Runners New York and to this event. Let's also thank the rest of
the committee, Mark Ansell, Ken Robinson Audra Farrell, and Ian
Granick. And a special thanks goes out to former Pride Run

year for all of your devotion to FRNY throughout the entire year:

AWARD

The Mickey Zacuto Award is given to the first Front Runners New York
male and female masters runners (age 40 +) in the five mile race. This
award has been endowed by Mickey's family in gratitude for the love and
support that she received from Front Runners throughout most of her
adult life. FRNY fondly remembers her as one of the club's most
supportive members as well as its general conscience.

THE AR.EA AWARD
The AREA Award is presented by the American Run for the End of
AIDS to the first female and male New York Front Runners to cross the
finish line. The award was conceived in 1987 to show AREA's
appreciation for FRNY's support of Brent Nicholson Earle's 20.month
9,000 mile run around America in 1986 and 1987.

�A ~PECJAL GIFT

challenge. This is truly a testament to how important FRNY is to so
many of us. We are proud to show that we're not just a running club, but
also a TEAM-Together Everyone Achieves More. FRNY thanks the

                    <text>. 25TH ANNIVERSARY NEWS
We've been RUNNING OUT FRONT for 25 yean and as our annivers ary year is about
to begin in 2004, here are some of the plans in the works to celebnte and honor our
heritage.
Those photo albums you've seen on the table at our Saturday runs have tons of
pictures which we're asking everyone to look through when you can. If you know whom the
people or the event was in the picture, please stick a post it note on it with the info. Because
we're going to be using these pictures to produce a multimed ia CD in 2004 which will
showcase our dub's history in pictures along with comment ary which we'll distribute free of
charge to all our members . We'll use them in the goody bags for the 2004 Pride Run in
June and also as a handy promotio nal tool for Front Runners.
FRNY will also be exploring the publishin g business this year, as we assemble and
publish a yearbook of our 25tb year combined with profiles of our past presidents.
Through out the year, we'll be everywhe re taking photos to include in the book, so don't be
shy if you see a shutterbu g making the rounds with us. We hope to have the book fmished
and printed in time for the 2005 Awards Dinner in January of that year and it will be given
to all dues paid members .
Don't forget the upcoming Award's Dinner on January 31st. The dinner promises to
be a great kick otT to our 25th year. As well as recognizing the achievements of our members
in 2003, we'll be taking a little walk down memory lane to show you how rich and varied our
history is with a special presentat ion.
In late spring of next year, the Third Annual Variety Show will be a star studded line
up of talent from both within and outside the Front Runner ranks. We're working on
expandin g the performa nce space to a real theatre environm ent to give a ' different flavor to
the show, which this year will help to benefit our Charitab le Foundati on.
These are just a few things to look forward to as we head towards the big 25. Other
plans will be announce d before the end of this year as we finalize them, so be on the lookout
for future announce ments. We will soon be setting up an online group to handle all the
business of the 25th anniversa ry. As you can well imagine by this time, there's a lot to do
next year that requires assistance and input from YOU, the individua l, who makes ·our club
what it is. For now, if you have some experienc e in graphic design, publishing, writing, photo
editing, CD productio n, public relations or fund nising, please give me a holler. With
everyone helping in their own way we'll have a great and fun filled year remembe ring who
we are while we head into the future RUNNIN G OUT FRONT.

                    <text>Race Report

It was another exciting weekend for our teammates. Last Sunday the blue,
orange and white FRNY jerseys could be seen at two races. At the NYRR
Niketown Run for the Parks 27 Front Runners competed in this race. The Men's
Open placed 3rd overall winning medals for Rich Velazquez, Kelsey, Rob
Lennon, Steve Vizena and Barry Abrams. Rich was the first FRNY male and
Julie Delaurier the first FRNY female. Rich was 5th in his age group, Julie
was 11th in her age group, and Steve was 3rd in his age group. It looks
like some time off this winter really worked for Barry. Dennis Giza ran
another pr this year, and so did Les Jones. Other women in the race include
Ellen Valente, Wendy Verona, Debra Chapnick and Joan Martinez.
Over at JFK airport, 6 Front Runners competed in the JFK 5K where the team
had a great showing. Kevin Brewer finished 3rd overall, Mark Ansell 5th,
Mike Benjamin 1Oth. All three placed in their age groups, as did Jeff
Werner. Also representing the team that morning was Bernd Erpenbeck and
Matt Kilkelly.
Sunday morning also found Dave Pitches and Bob Nelson in Orchard Beach
racing in the Bronx Biathlon (run 3 miles, bike 20 miles, run 3 miles); both
showed strong finishes, with Dave coming in 3rd in his age group.
Monday was the 109th running of the Boston Marathon, and 7 Front Runners
were there representing the club. Congratulations to Bryce Wunder
(3:17:58), Robert Williams (3:36:36), Robert Dally (3:37:05), Richard
Blanchette (3:43:31), Loraine Simunek (3:50:04),
Richard Ervais (3:50:13) and Yvonne Bock (4:03:53), who completed the very
difficult course in very warm conditions!
And this Sunday is a Points Race for men and women!! The Thomas G.
