We train track sprinters, middle distance runners, ultra marathoners, walkers, swimmers, and triathletes.Ĭould you tell us about the origins of the FRNY LGBT Pride Run®? Some FRNY members race on a weekly basis - others never race at all. AdvertisementsįRNY draws a wide variety of athletes. We welcome runners of all speeds, ages, and abilities. Identifying as LGBTQ+ is not a requirement to run with FRNY. What is Front Runners New York?įRNY is a running club, founded in October 1979 by Malcolm Robinson, for people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) and those who are allies. We spoke to the President of FRNY, Gilbert Gaona, to find out a bit more about the history of this record-breaking race and what the 40th anniversary event has in store for participants. Two years on from achieving their Guinness World Records title, the FRNY LGBT Pride Run® is celebrating another milestone - its 40th anniversary. In 2019, Front Runners New York ( FRNY) and the New York Road Runners ( NYRR) achieved the record for the largest Pride charity run with 10,238 people taking part.
