You may download the February/March Greenville Track Club Newsletter here. It is a BIG ONE, so read and enjoy!

The Greenville Track Club's March meeting was conducted at Coronita's  restaurant on Wade Hampton Blvd on Tuesday, March 4th. After some brief club business updates, Greenville Track Club-ELITE Director/Coach Mike Caldwell shared some interesting numbers regarding the club's post-collegiate, Olympic-development program. That information is presented below. 

Thanks to Bill Blask for providing the above photos from our GTC February meeting at which awards were presented to the winners and placers in the 2024 GTC Running Series and the Corporate Shield competition. 

Congratulations to all of the runners/walkers who braved the cold and wet conditions in Saturday's 46th edition of the GTC Run Downtown 5K. It was great to see everyone out there on the roads. Big thank you to race director John Hart and the many volunteers that made it possible. We couldn't do this without you volunteers. 

That was our first event in the GTC Running Series for 2025. And the awards for the 2024 GTC Running Series will be presented on Monday, February 3 at the annual GTC Awards night. That will be held at Hampton Park Church on State Park Road at 6:00 pm.
