Good Running Shoes Make a Difference

Donation Goal: $2,300

The Golden Shoe Fund

Running shoes are the most important equipment for a student-athlete involved in cross country and track.  Area schools offer these programs as early as the third grade, during a formative time when children are learning about healthy lifestyle behavior. Good shoes can make a difference.  There are instances when a student-athlete’s family cannot afford a proper pair of shoes to help enhance their running experience.

Created in 2006, the Traverse City Track Club’s Golden Shoe Fund program partners with area running coaches and the local running stores, Fleet Feet, to help area running athletes in grades 3 through 12 receive new running shoes with dignity. 

This program has been carefully designed to ensure students in need will not lose eligibility or future scholarship opportunity, and it relies on the discretion of the young runner’s coach. 

The Traverse City Track Club (TCTC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We are the largest running club in Michigan (nearing 1,000 members) and put on events and programs for runners and walkers. We offer a variety of programs to members, including weekly fun runs, a training program, Summer Series, and the Grand Prix Circuit.  We give back to the community through youth scholarships, grants, donations to volunteer work groups, and ensuring young runners are fitted in proper running shoes through the golden shoe program. To date, the TCTC has given back over $2.5 million. By donating today, you are helping to support our mission: The Traverse City Track Club promotes and encourages health, fitness, fellowship, community service, family recreation and competition via running and walking. We welcome all ages and abilities.
