Gulf Coast Runners Commitment to the Community

It is our goal to promote the sport of running to all ages throughout the community.  It is also our goal to give back to the community in ways that are applicable and appropriate to a running organization.  Below is a list of community events which the Gulf Coast Runners annually participates in either raising money or supporting other “not for profit organizations.”

Youth Development Fund – Annual Scholarships awarded to High School Seniors furthering their education.  Grants provided to many other youth related programs, such as the Summer Run for Fun.
