MEET THE NEW FACES OF GFTC
Every year, our team grows not just in numbers, but in stories, personalities, goals, and experiences.
This year, we welcomed a new group of runners into the GFTC family. Some joined chasing PRs. Some are training for their first big race. Some came looking for community. Others simply wanted people to share miles, laughs, and good energy with.
And that’s exactly what GFTC is about.
All paces. All faces. Different goals. One team.
Over the next few slides, meet some of the newest members who joined us in 2026 and learn a little about who they are, what they’re chasing, and why they chose GFTC.
We’re proud to have each of them representing this community and adding their own chapter to our story.
Welcome to the family. 🫶🏾
GOLD F*** TIMES ONLY. Link in the bio to learn more and to join membership today.
