About Pennsylvania
GCXC Pennsylvania
GCXC PA carries on a legacy of timing and second-to-none event production and management that started with Elite Runners and Walkers many years ago. We continue a legacy of iconic Pittsburgh area events like The Spring Thaw, topping 50 years of continuous running in 2026, and the Sean T Smith Memorial Just a Short Run, which surpassed 25 years in 2025. Each of our proprietary events boasts a local charity partner.



Event Professionals
In addition to producing our own events, we work with 65 non-profit and municipal organizations to bring their race vision to life. When a partner needs an event timing and management team that prioritizes their participants, their goals, and their events, they come to us.

Client Testimonials
“We picked GCXC to help us host our event because I run a bunch of their races and know they're successful, knowledgeable and friendly! GCXC is a name we wanted to be able to associate with our event because of their reputation in the running community. Matt and Jessika were a wonderful duo: Incredibly helpful, constantly checking in, quick to answer any question or inquiry we had, whether it was a call, text or email. The entire process was so smooth. THANK YOU!!!”
“Matt and Jessika at GCXC were an absolute pleasure to get to work with. They answered questions in a timely and professional manner, had check-ins throughout the planning process, and provided suggestions on how we can continue to improve our event. I have such gratitude for how they shared in my excitement for the event and helped it be a success.”
