Mission Statement

The original founders of the Greater Boston Track Club (GBTC) intended the club to service post-collegiate athletes who want to further their athletic pursuits after they are no longer eligible for collegiate training and competition. The founders recognized that most track and field, cross-country, or road racing athletes have much room for improvement after college graduation. Many members are graduate students at Greater Boston area colleges and universities but cannot compete for the college team nor be supported or coached by them. Likewise, the GBTC provides a service to undergraduate students at high-performance, Division I colleges and universities who have been "cut" from their college athletic programs and have no alternatives for coaching or team membership. The GBTC's present intention is to develop amateur athletes and foster sports competition at the regional, national, or international level, up to the Olympic level. No system other than athletic clubs such as GBTC supports athletes in these attempts. Along the way to the highest levels of sport, the GBTC's purpose is to urge members of the public to participate in healthful athletic competition at all levels, ages, and abilities and to work alone or with other organizations to organize events for healthful competition. GBTC provides places and camaraderie, teammates and coaching, conducive to effective training. In this way, the GBTC helps athletes from beginners to Olympic contenders who are not supported by school teams. In addition to the competitive goals, the social aspects of the club separate its function from resembling a fitness club or gym. The club brings like-minded people of all ages together and often provides important social support beyond work and family. GBTC has embraced members from many countries such as Germany, France, Mexico, Netherlands and Greece. GBTC's service has also expanded in two directions, older and younger. Track and Field athletes continue training and competing into their 30s, 40s in masters competition and on into later decades. The GBTC in offering services to high school, college, and graduate students, and athletes of all ages gives many young people their first real social interaction with adults other than family members, teachers, or bosses. It is a wonderful thing to see people of all ages and sexes work together based strictly on performance.

Program Description:

GBTC provides safe, insured locations for training usually in the evening for people who work during the day. Membership in the club is not restricted in any way; the club holds no performance standards for memberships. The only "requirements" for membership are a willingness to represent the GBTC in competition or help those who are. Notably, GBTC has conducted a popular and important indoor track meet at Harvard University in January since 1982. The club has organized annual cross-country races such as at Bradley Palmer State Forest in October, and outdoor summer track meets at various tracks in the Boston area. The club hosts weekly races on Deer Island in Boston Harbor that are free of an entry fee, and are frequently used by members and the general public as measures of training progress on a regular basis, and provide an economical alternative to professional or fund-raising races that charge between $10 to $25 dollars per entry. Finally, GBTC is affordable. Many secondary schools have for budget reasons cut or eliminated their track and field programs, or else imposed user fees in excess of $100 per season. At $50 per year and across all seasons (cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track, plus year-round road racing), the GBTC is a bargain.
