The Syracuse Track Club · Nonprofit Organization

Purpose:

The Syracuse Track Club (STC) was founded in 1977 "to promote, in a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship, all aspects of track and field, long distance road and cross country running, physical fitness, and related activities for men and women of all ages and at all levels of ability in the Central New York area."  We are a diverse group of all ages and abilities who share a common enjoyment of running and demonstrates this by supporting events and activities that are fun and of benefit to us all as runners, members of the STC, and members of the Central New York community.  

Races:

The STC conducts or assists in many runs and races throughout the year, bringing variety and opportunity to the runners of Central New York.  Some of these are:

The Resolution Run: January 1st every year

The Super Couch Potato 5k:  SuperBowl Sunday every year 

The Mountain Goat Run: 1st Sunday in May every year

The Camillus Veterans Memorial Day 5k:  Every Memorial Day

The Valley Nature Run:  Trail race every August

Halloween Run: Trail race every Sunday before Halloween

In the past we have been involved with Komens Race For the Cure, Tromptown 1/2 Marathon and 5k, Bud 5k, ARC Races, Grover Cleveland Days 5K.

Volunteers:

Our success is sponsoring these many runs and races dependent on the commitment of volunteers, for without you, these events can't occur.  Helping at a race is a great opportunity to meet other member and to view a race from a new perspective.  Experience is not necessary, but a sense of commitment and enthusiasm are.  You will have a lot of fun and give something back to your sport and community.
