The Global Running Club (GRC) is a private, nonprofit organization. Membership is open to any individual, regardless of race, creed, sex, or nationality. 

The GOAL of GRC is to provide its members an opportunity to enter and complete run/race-walk events, to include 5 and 10 Ks, Ten-milers, and Marathons world-wide.  Additionally, GRC seeks to foster better health and knowledge for its members while expanding their experiences through exercise, nutrition and travel. 

Moreover, the GRC seeks to give-back to the global community through support of non-profit organizations such as the National Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, Prevention of Domestic Violence and various AIDS Awareness/Prevention Organizations world-wide.

Each member is issued a GRC membership card, which is required for trip sign-ups and other GRC functions.
