Group Training Running Club (GTRC) began through friendships formed in NYRR's Group Training classes. We welcome runners of all speeds, ages, and abilities who are participating, or have participated, in the NYRR Group Training program, as well as their friends and family. Through NYRR Group Training, runners meet at sites across the city for morning and evening interval, tempo, and long runs with coaches. When runners began to meet for additional training runs and social events, we recognized that many of us were running NYRR races unaffiliated. So, we created GTRC to create an official club "home" for our racing and social activities. Members of all speeds are encouraged, but never required, to run in the "club points" races designated by NYRR. GTRC members cheer for each other, support each other's goals, and push towards our best selves. We are also committed to fun.
