THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (February 21-27) and WINTER GFC WEEK 7 ROLL CALL! It's Gatorthon Week! Next Sunday, February 27 marks the return of Gatorthon, our seventh edition that, following a one year gap, is back with close to 50 runners on 9 teams participating! Our teams include a Youth Gators group, a club officers team, and a Spring Valley YMCA staff team as well as "The Classics", "The Perfect 10s", and the "Running Reptiles"!
