Join The Team

If you are a top-notch athlete fresh out of college, a competitive runner new to DC, or a long-time Washingtonian looking to break into the top tier of local runners, we hope you will consider joining our team; The GRC Race Team welcomes promising new members.  We are a collection of mostly post-collegiate runners that pursue full-time careers by day and personal-records by night. Team members race a variety of distances from 800m through the marathon, and a range of events including road races, cross country, and indoor and outdoor track meets.  Our roster includes several Olympic Trials hopefuls, a growing women's team, masters, and multi-sport athletes.  Most members of the team are coached by Jerry Alexander.

Members of the team are expected to regularly participate in club practices and race in the GRC singlet, and are required to sign a code of conduct.  GRC is a club member of the Road Runners Club of America, and all GRC athletes are automatically individual members of the RRCA.

The best way to join our team is to email us at info@grcrunning.com.  Please be sure to include the following in your initial email:

• Your recent running personal best times
• Personal running history (describe your progression as a runner including personal best times each year starting in high school, if applicable)
• Injury history
• Your current level of fitness
• Racing goals for the coming months.
