Gulf Coast Triathlon is a not-for-profit southeastern destination event that leads the community in promoting healthy lifestyles by developing youth through fitness.

Gulf Coast Triathlon is the only race of its kind to be a community-based non-profit corporation.  A large part of our success and longevity is due to the support of the Panama City Beach/Bay County community. With this in mind, the Gulf Coast Triathlon Foundation aims to give back to programs that promote youth development in the community.

In the last 8 years alone, the GCT Foundation has donated more than $250,000 to local youth groups, school sports programs, the Panama City Marine Institute, Florida Youth Sheriff’s Ranch, Panama City Beach Cops N’ Kids, St. Andrews State Park, the Frank Brown Park Aquatic Center and the Panama City Swim Team.
