Who We Are
Columbia Track Club is a vibrant nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting health, fitness, and community engagement through running. Our mission is to provide opportunities for athletes of all ages, from youth programs to competitive teams, fostering a supportive environment for personal improvement and community goodwill.Our aims are health, fitness and fun. We are a feel-good club. Usually, we run-jog-walk just for our own good, and we have plenty of activities for that indulgence. But as a club, we do a lot of other nice things.

Our Why
Columbia Track Club believes in the transformative power of running and its ability to foster community. While there are many running clubs, our focus is on creating a welcoming environment where individuals of all ages can connect and enjoy the sport together. We aim to support everyone from youth just starting out to seasoned runners looking to stay active.

Many young runners discover their passion through school programs or local leagues, while others may find their stride later in life. We recognize that running can sometimes feel isolating, and that's why we emphasize camaraderie and encouragement. Our club offers a supportive space where every member can share their love for running and thrive in a community of like-minded individuals.

Our Mission
Founded in 1968, Columbia Track Club is a dedicated nonprofit organization and proud member of USA Track & Field, committed to promoting health, fitness, and fun through distance running and race-walking for all ages. Our mission is to foster a supportive community that encourages individual improvement, embraces competition, and provides accessible events that enhance the athletic experience for both recreational and competitive athletes. We aim to inspire a lifelong love for running while giving back to the community through youth programs and charitable initiatives.
