Global Running Day!

Team Gasparilla is taking over our favorite spot on Bayshore Blvd from 7:30 to 9 AM, and we are not showing up empty handed.

Stop by the Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic tent at our Pop Up Cheer Zone, where we will be handing out free water, Gatorade, and t-shirts to everyone out there putting in miles.

If you needed a reason to get outside on a Wednesday morning, consider this your sign.

For nearly 50 years our mission has remained the same.

Support the charitable efforts of our local community and provide access and support to empower and build a healthy community through running.

To date GDCA has donated $7.1M back into local organizations. Today we were honored to celebrate the accomplishments of former Executive Director Susan Harmeling being inducted into the Big Brothers Big Sisters Tampa Bay Hall of Fame for her 30 years of ensuring the mission remains strong.

Congrats to Susan and thank you to our runners for helping to support our mission and the future of youth running in Tampa Bay.
