GITC focuses on running, walking and jogging. GITC actively promotes exercise through a variety of ways. Weekly group runs/walks are open to both members and non-members alike. Members can take advantage of organized "fun runs," take part in race participation and attend monthly educational and business meetings.
Weekly Fun Runs are held every Thursday night (except for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve) in the Pier/Village parking lot on St. Simons Island. Members meet in the parking lot in front of Brogen's Food & Spirits at 6:45 pm and begin promptly at 7:00 pm. Distances range from 2 to 5 1/2 miles at a variety of paces. Walkers, joggers, runners and cyclists are all welcome. Participants gather at Brogen's after for post-run refreshment, food and fellowship.
Club Fun Runs for members are held at various times throughout the year. Notification of Fun Runs are via member e-mail postings.
GITC Parties & Social Gatherings are throughout the year and members are notified through e-mail. Christmas, New Year's Eve, Super Bowl, St. Patrick's Day and several beach parties are normally held annually. Members and guests also gather at the summer "music in the park" outdoor concert events and picnic.
Monthly GITC Business Meetings are held the 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:00 pm; location is announced by member e-mail.
GITC Organizes Two Anual Races on the Golden Isles and also offers volunteer assistance to countless other races in the Southeast. The I Love the Beach 5K Beach Run was brand new in 2009. The July Sunshine Festival 5K & 1-mile runs hold a long tradition of the Golden Isles.
GITC Participates in a Variety of Community Endeavors. We have volunteered time to the Glynn County Special Olympics and CoastFest as well as participated in the local Down Syndrome Buddy Walk. GITC also assists in buying track supplies for Glynn County high schools and donates to member efforts in Relay for Life. GITCers support local high school track programs by providing manpower and finish line duties for state-wide cross country competitions held on Jekyll Island.
