On May 1st and 2nd, 12 New York City Frontrunners, the LGBT running group, participated in the 13Relay Cape Cod relay race that left from Boston and ended in P-town, coming in 8th out of 200 teams. That isn't just out for a leisurely stroll, that is hard-core pounding the pavement with a determination to shred the competition. You could insert light-in-the-loafers jokes here but from a novice runner participating with this group for the first time, it is obvious that these men and women have dedicated themselves to the spirit of hardcore competition, teamwork, and the training and perseverance needed to make them winners.
