Steve founded the Global Running Club in 2000 with the aim of promoting
running and fitness “anywhere and everywhere I go”.
The goal of the Global Running Club is to spread the joy of running and

American Heart Association, Cancer Research and any other outreach
organization that supports life, health, and fitness.
The GRC holds an annual 5K in Fort Washington Park, MD each May to
support victims of Domestic Violence. Proceeds from this event
benefit the Prince Georges County Sheriff’s Office of Domestic
Violence. In 2007 the GRC held a 5K in Little Rock, Ark to

Nine Foundation.
