Gulf Winds Track Club

Gulf Winds Track Club (GWTC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose members include runners, walkers, swimmers and cyclists of all speeds and levels of ability and training, whether they participate for education, competition, fitness, health or personal social enjoyment.

The club encourages health and fitness by providing group runs, training, race events, education and funding to grow the running and triathlete community. We maintain a family atmosphere, both in being like family to each other and keeping most, if not all, events family friendly by including fun events for kids.

GWTC’s newsletter, social meetings, media communications and a variety of lecture events inform members of local and regional events and foster the exchange of information about the benefits of running, biking, swimming and having an active lifestyle.

Memberships help maintain the Club as the backbone of Tallahassee’s running community for a very small fee per member.

• $20 for individual memberships
