Team G(race) is a charity running team based in Troy, Ohio. Founded in 2011 as a ministry of Troy First United Methodist Church, Team Grace became a program of Free To Run Foundation in 2016. Each year, Team Grace raises money and awareness for youth fitness and wellness programs, such as Girls on the Run. Since 2011, we have disbursed over $36,000 for various charitable causes.

Why become a member of Team G(race)?

If you enjoy good company during your runs, and like to be part of a running community that exists to help others, then Team G(race is the running team for you. There is no cost to become a member of the team, but if you would like to help us reach our fundraising goal, and you want some cool Team G swag, we offer "premium" membership levels. If you don't want any of the gear, just choose the basic membership and you can choose to make a donation in any amount though this site.

Many of our members are located in the northern areas of the Miami Valley, but we have members throughout the Dayton region, and even some members out of the area and out of the state.

Group runs regularly occur at Up and Running in Troy (Wednesdays at 6 pm, and Saturdays at 8 am), along with regular trail runs and ad hoc runs posted on the team Facebook page. We participate in the ORRRC team series, along with many of the ORRRC's trail races. Our members run many of the half and full marathons that occur in the Midwest throughout the year, so there's a good chance if you're running a race, you'll see somebody from Team Grace there.

Spring Membership Drive

Our Spring 2019 campaign goal is $5,000, so we are running a membership drive in the month of May. We need to raise about $2,500 through this membership drive and donations to meet our goal.
