One of the main goals of GCAC is to provide opportunities for adult members to also get together for easy group runs and quality speed/track workouts.
There are several adult group runs that meet weekly:
GCAC Member Renee Miller's "Glow Squad": Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday - all VERY early mornings!
GCAC Coach Chrissy Hayes adult group runs: varied weekly schedule.
GCAC Member Hannah Gildersleeve adult group runs: Sundays.
You do NOT have to be a member of the Grove City Athletics Club to participate in our adult group training.
Just contact us at GroveCityAC@gmail.com with your name, email, and/or phone number for more information!
All paces and distances are welcome! Don't worry if you think you are too slow or cannot run far enough!
Also, if you are interested in starting your own weekly group runs, email GroveCityAC@gmail.com and/or post your ideas to our GCAC Private Group Facebook page, which is open for anyone to post looking for running mates.
