Mission Statement
Rose City Track Club inspires joy and growth in athletes through promoting the sport of running. Toward that goal, RCTC provides a supportive training platform for athletes to improve and strive to compete at a national class level, and conducts competitive footraces enjoyed by youth and amateur athletes alike]. The Corporation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, and to foster national and international amateur sports within the meaning of Sections 501(c)(3) and 501(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), including the making of distributions directly in support of such purposes or the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under Code Section 501(c)(3).
About This Cause
Established in 2017, Rose City Track Club is a grassroots running club and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by friends that value the spirit of competition, camaraderie, hard work, and love for the sport. Our mission is to provide a supportive, team-based training platform for distance runners ranging from locally competitive to national class, and to conduct affordable footraces for youth and amateur athletes alike. Portland is a mecca for talented distance runners. While there’s no shortage of local running clubs or community track nights, our aim is to provide daily structure and support for driven runners that have the motivation and desire to become great runners. Many runners, if they’re lucky, get their start in middle school, high school, or through their local youth league. Some go on to compete at a collegiate level. Some don’t take their first step well into adulthood. Beyond that, attempting to train at a high level without a structured support network can be a lonely ordeal. Our aim is to provide that type of support system as well as structured training, whether one is fresh out of the collegiate system or looking to develop later in life. To that end, RCTC members have access to personal coaching and custom training plans, weekly team runs and strength sessions with a professional trainer, and educational sessions with a focus on injury prevention and nutrition. Members also get volunteer opportunities within the local running community. In the summer of 2018, Rose City Track Club conducted and hosted its the inaugural Rose City Mile, a community track meet with the mission of providing a fun, competitive, and affordable opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to test their fitness in the mile.
