| The Golden Gate Triathlon Club's Tri & Give Program has been running for 14 seasons!
GGTC and Tri More Fitness support
new triathletes completing a Olympic-distance triathlon while simultaneously helping the community!
Tri and Give (TAG) is the Golden Gate Triathlon Club’s 10-week training program for people
new to the sport of triathlon, or people who want to learn more about structured training
principles, and prepares them for an Olympic-distance triathlon. All proceeds from the program benefit
local Bay Area organizations that provide athletic and learning opportunities to children.
Since its inception in 2002, 500 athletes have gone through the program and successfully completed their goal race.
The program has raised over $70,000 for its beneficiaries, including:
- Special Olympics of Northern California
- Big Brother/Big Sister of Marin and Napa
- Girls on the Run Bay Area
- Real Options for City Kids (ROCK)
- GirlVentures
- Jamestown Community Center
- Lincoln High School cross-country running team
- Trips for Kids
GGTC’s TAG program aims to benefit local Bay Area organizations
that support kids and sports. GGTC will be asking our members to submit charity proposals in the coming month so members have direct input on what charities the board will be reviewing and voting on in 2010. Stay tuned for more details.
