For 33 years, Front Runners New York has partnered with New
York Road Runners in producing this race on Pride Weekend,
commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots – a
series of spontanteous, violent demonstrations against a police
raid that took place at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village
during the early morning hours of June 28, 1969. Tired
and angry of the persecution and discrimination of gays and
lesbians in New York City, these riots became the defining event
that marked the beginning of the Gay Rights Movement in the
United States 45 years ago this year.
The intervening years have seen a tremendous advancement
of LGBT individuals and causes from the periphery into the
spotlight, a shift reﬂected in our Front Runner members.
Marriage equality in New York enabled our very own Mike and
Dave to celebrate their wedding alongside fellow Front Runners
at last year’s race. Rachel and A.J. welcomed future triathlete Ari
into the world, while Sandi and Rachel prepare to do the same.
We celebrate the diversity of our runners with open arms, and
the Pride Run is built upon a strong foundation of inclusivity. As

We all have our favorite
running signs, slogans,
and phrases. Along the
bottom of each page
are some of the favorite
sayings of our runners.

“No matter how slow
you go, you’re still
lapping everyone on
the couch.”

you stand toe-to-toe at the
starting line with fellow Pride
Runners, remember that
you are an agent of change
as members of the LGBT
community and our allies
continue to strive for equality.
We march – or in our case,
run – with each step bringing
us closer to ensuring that
every single one of us are
equally recognized citizens of
the United States.
In the spirit of community, we would like to acknowledge
our major race supporters and sponsors Racetrackers,
NYSportsMed, JackRabbit Sports, Human Rights Campaign
(HRC), and Boxers Sports Bar. We encourage you to patronize
these exemplary businesses. Their support has been integral
to the success of this race, and we are proud to consider them
allies.
We would also like to thank New York Road Runners for
their long-term commitment to this race and to the LGBT
community. We wish to especially highlight Sean Corbett and
Nick Synan, who have been tremendous resources and our
daily guides in this endeavor.
Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the
Board and members of Front Runners New York for their
support – they are a family in every sense of the word. And to
the 2014 Pride Run Committee members – Jean, Jonathan,
Kent, Kerri, Kurt, Matthew, Michael, and Sandi – this would not
have happened without you.
See you at the finish and have a great race!

�from
the

president

Thank you for joining Front Runners New York for our 33rd
Annual LGBT Pride Run!  Since our founding in 1979, FRNY has
grown from a few dozen committed runners to an organization
of almost 900 strong. But it’s not only our membership that has
grown during this time—our proud association with New York’s
running and LGBT communities has ﬂourished as well.
Many of us could not have imagined a day when we would be
able to appear amid rainbow ﬂags, open about who we are.
For some of us, just “coming out” was an enormous and risky
undertaking. But with your support, today we join over 5,000 of
our friends and allies to put on one of the largest, most competitive races around.
In return, we are so happy to be able to give back to the communities that have welcomed us. For
those who run with Front Runners, we provide top-notch training, vibrant social events, and unparalleled
camaraderie. At this year’s Pride Run, we are pleased to award prizes that recognize team participation as
well as speed. And we are particularly proud today to support the New York City Anti-Violence Project, a

Pride Run Beneficiary:

New York City Anti-Violence Project
wonderful organization dedicated to ending violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and
HIV-affected communities. It’s because of New York’s running and LGBT communities that we have been
able to enjoy 33 years of success with this race.
I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Race Directors Jason and T.J. and the entire Pride Run
Committee who worked all year to produce an extraordinary race for us.  Thanks also to the Board of Front
Runners New York and our members for making FRNY such an amazing club. Thank you to our sponsors:
JackRabbit Sports, NYSportsMed, Racetrackers, Boxers Sports Bar, and the Human Rights Campaign; and
also to New York Road Runners, without whose support this race would not be feasible. And thanks to all of
the runners of our Pride Run.  We are so proud to be a part of your community
Have a great race!

�Looking for inspiration?

Meet Evans Siskel

In his 20s and 30s, Evans Siskel said, he “lived to run,” often pounding out 25 miles a day for the sheer
joy of it. Then, in 1994, his days as a runner came to an abrupt end when a motorcycle accident left him
with a mangled foot.
In the ensuing years, Evans focused on family and friends, eventually building a life and business with his
partner Jim. But he never forgot the thrill of running. So in 2008, he had his damaged leg amputated
below the knee so he could be fitted with a prosthesis. And slowly, he returned to running.

Every day that I can
get out and run is
such a huge feeling of
accomplishment...Given
my circumstances it really
is a big deal to run.

If you’re looking for inspiration during this year’s
Pride Run, watch for Evans along the five-milecourse in Central Park. Now 58, he’ll be running
alongside his 14-year-old godson, Michael. And
both of them expect to run a strong, fast race.
“Every day that I can get out and run is such a
huge feeling of accomplishment,” Evans said after
a recent training run in which he covered 6.6
miles at an 8:09 pace. “Given my circumstances
it really is a big deal to run.”

After working his way back into running shape, Evans entered the Pride Run in 2012 and 2013. In last
year’s race, his artificial leg malfunctioned and he fell. After putting his leg back on with the help of Michael,
another friend, he righted himself and made it to the finish line.
As he runs this year, Evans will be carrying memories of his father, who died recently at 95 and for whom
Evans cared in his final days. His father’s passing adds extra meaning to a race that already has enormous
significance. As Evans noted, this year’s Pride Run celebrates just how far the LGBT community has come
since the race was first run 33 years ago.

Evans Siskel

“Last year, Michael couldn’t wait to get his Pride Run singlet and show it off to his friends at school,” Evans
said. “Things have become so much more matter-of-fact. It’s just great to see that.”

Front Runner NY Programs

FRNY has active men’s and women’s race teams. If competition is your thing, the club sends scores of
runners to races throughout the NYC area, and sometimes to special travel events like Gay Games, out of
town marathons, and even shorter races. Even if you’re not into racing, FRNY is reputable for having the
most spirited cheer zones to support the runners as they take on the latest challenge. For many members
the sense of community and support is what Front Runners is all about.

Socials
Front Runners New York isn’t all about the running. Like any good group, Front Runners members know
how to socialize. We have a regular slate of social events and do many impromptu trips after a race or
a tough workout. These include the annual FRNY Awards Night in January, volunteering at NYRR races,
and the Pasta Dinner &amp; Pancake Breakfast before the NYC marathon in November. We also have monthly
happy hours on Fridays, a membership picnic in August, and more.

MORE INFORMATION
For more detailed information check out our web site at www.frny.org where you can join the club, find
our calendar with the most up-to-date information about all workouts, sign up for all club communications
which include training e-mails on Brooklyn, Indoor/Outdoor Workouts, Long Runs, Multisport, and the
weekly Front Runner Gram

Fun Runs
Front Runners New York offers members, newcomers, and guests three weekly fun runs on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The Tuesday evening fun run is held at Prospect Park in Brooklyn whereas the
Wednesday evening and Saturday morning fun runs are held at Central Park in Manhattan. The Saturday
Fun Run meets right by the Daniel Webster Statue on the west side of 72nd street transverse in Central
Park. Runners of every pace and experience level are encouraged to come to all our fun runs.

Front Walkers
Front Runners New York also supports recreational walkers. Anyone interested in walking in Central Park
with the club should meet at 9:15 AM Saturday morning on the same spot as the runners (Daniel Webster
Statue on 72nd Street transverse.) By meeting earlier, this allows walkers to complete a six-mile loop (if so
desired) at the same time as the runners. It is all right to arrive at the same time as the runners at 10am. A
few members sometimes walk the lower 1.7 mile loop of Central Park twice for a refreshing 3.4 mile walk.

Long Runs
FRNY offers hosted long runs every weekend for members looking for organized runs over 8-10 miles.
Each long run offers multiple distance options, typically ranging from 12 – 20 miles. FRNY will provide
beverages and bagels after the run. Long runs are hosted by a different FRNY member each weekend who
volunteers their home. This is a great way to learn new running routes and explore the City. Long runs are
restricted to FRNY members only.

Training
FRNY has outdoor speed workouts in the spring, summer, and fall, and indoor speed workouts in the
winter months. Head Coach Mike Keohane designs workouts for sprinters, mid-distance runners, and long
distance runners. All members of FRNY are invited to participate in our coached workouts. From May to

Chef Matthew Tivy, a veteran of some of New York’s finest dining
establishments and catering venues, will personally design each menu.
His rustic, yet refined cuisine utilizes the highest quality organic,
seasonal and local products at each event.

June 26, 1982 dawned partly cloudy, warm and humid. In the wee hours of the morning, a small group of
Front Runners picked up the finish line equipment from NYRR. You can imagine the emotion as the Front
Runners banner was hung over the start and finish lines. Cheers erupted from the volunteers. At about
9:00, Commissioner Davis arrived to make sure everything was going smoothly. At 9:30, the runners were
called to the starting line. After reading a brief statement submitted by Patricia Nell Warren, the author of
The Front Runner, the horn was sounded and the race was off.

Whether you are hosting a black tie gala, a corporate cocktail party, a
casual lunch or brunch, Soleil Caterers can tailor a menu specifically
for you. Our mission is to exceed your expectations with attention to
detail, hand crafted cuisine, creative presentations, exquisite flavors,

On February 3rd, 1982, former FRNY President Steve Gerben met with then Parks &amp; Recreation
Commissioner Gordon Davis to discuss the proposed Gay &amp; Lesbian Pride Run in Central Park. While the
city had sent signals that such a race wasn’t going to be likely, Commissioner Davis agreed to meet with
Front Runners anyway. Gerben made a compelling case for holding the race in Central Park. Paramount
to the discussion was the fact that the race would be open to all members of the community—gay or
straight. After all, a runner is a runner. Five days later permission was granted to hold New York’s first annual
Pride Run in Central Park—and an amazing partnership with New York Road Runners was born.

The tension was incredible as fans waited for the lead car to appear. First over the finish line was Remulus
Della Valle from Millrose AA in 25:13, followed by Chris Winters from DCFRs in 26:33. First FRNY, and 6th
overall, was Steve Brown in 27:56. The first woman finisher was our own Sue Foster in 31:49. The sense
of excitement and elation from the runners, spectators and volunteers was just incredible. After the last
runners were in, the finish line area was set up for the prize drawings and the awards ceremony. The first
Gay Pride Run ended in triumph. There were 440 entrants in 1982. The entry fee was $7.00.
A lot has changed over the years, including the entry fees! But the spirit of this race has never changed. We
run together the last weekend in June--gay and straight alike to celebrate diversity and advance equality.
No matter who we might be, or who we might love we all just want to put on our shoes and run.

�FRNY SPECIAL AWARDS

What to do for your legs when you’re not running…
By Matt Frank

The Steve Gerben Award

Do you recover better from running when you stretch afterwards? Most of us do. But if you’re rushed or far
from home you may need to hop on the subway first. And it turns out that the subway can be good for this!
Here are some ideas for stretching in the subway after a run.

The Steve Gerben Award honors the first male and female FRNY finishers of the club’s annual Lesbian
and Gay Pride Run. A five-time president of Front Runners, Gerben owns an illustrious place in both the
gay and the running worlds for his role in founding this race in 1982. At a time when being gay could
be scary and threatening for men and women, Gerben offered people a space in which to celebrate
themselves and their community while also engaging in healthy athletic activity. His tradition lives on as the
club celebrates the 33rd running of the Pride Run this June.

ᕡ On the platform: Face a column, with your feet one foot away from it. lace your hands
on the column, and slide your right foot back two feet. Lean forward, press your heel down, and
straighten your right knee, to stretch the calf. Switch sides.

Gerben and his partner Bob Buckley now split their time between New York
and Florida. They both still actively support the club, and Front Runners
would like to thank them for all they have done through the years.

ᕢ On the train: Hold one of the poles with both hands. Lift your right leg, and put your right
foot on your left knee. Sit back and sit down, using the subway pole for support, to stretch the
glutes and hip. Switch sides.

The Mickey Zacuto Award

ᕣ On the up escalator: Face forward. Hold the handrail. Back up so your toes are on the
step but your heels are off. Now raise and lower your heels, to strengthen your calves.

The Mickey Zacuto award is given to the first Front Runners New York
male and female master runners (age 40+) in the five mile race. This award
has been endowed by Mickey’s family in gratitude for the love and support she
received from Front Runners throughout most of her adult life. Mickey was a true activist, as well as a
member of FRNY from 1983 until her sudden death in 1993. FRNY fondly remembers her as one of the
club’s most supportive members as well as its general conscience.

Reminders of stretches in particular places can help set a routine, and then you can incorporate whatever
other exercises work for you. There’s a lot you can do for your legs when you’re not running.
The above information was an excerpt from the FRNY Beginner’s Clinic that FRNY runs every spring
leading up to the Pride Run. Matt Frank studied yoga during a prolonged knee injury, and now enjoys
swimming, biking, and running with Front Runners.
