TOP 10 REASONS

to pay your 2017 GSTC dues

1- The above man, teammate Tahir Qadeer, needs physical therapy on his neck from lugging around all these medals he just recently won at the Dopey Challenge. We will donate to his cause!

2- This helps us pay for upkeep on team website, team insurance, Highland Park facility rental fees, team gear (tents, tables), etc.

2- For $32/year, you get a gazillion Facebook notifications. That works out to roughly $.0001 per notification. That's a sweet deal, right?

4- Gym memberships charge twice as much....as their monthly fee.

5- Meet someone really special on the team. It happens. A lot!

6- You get awarded unlimited access to Mike Anis telling his driving stories for Lyft. Oh wait...forget we mentioned that part.

7- Think about all the great friends and people you meet! Most of them are totally worth $32/year. A solid 75%, we would say.

8- You get to feel the unconditional support, inspiration, and love of New Jersey's biggest running club. Unless you pass a teammate in the final homestretch of a race, and then they might throw an elbow to your kidney.

9- Travel to anywhere in New Jersey and quickly find teammates to run with through the twelve GSTC enclaves.

10- Wear the same uniform as TWELVE athletes who competed in the Olympic Trials last year. That's kinda cool.
