Description
The Las Vegas Track Club is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that was incorporated in the state of Nevada in April, 1969. We are walkers/joggers/runners who have embraced walking/jogging/running as a lifetime fitness activity. Our mission is to support youth running in southern Nevada, and we do that by making very generous donations to youth running teams, high school cross country and track teams, and by giving scholarships to worthy graduating high school seniors.
We work very closely with all of the local charities who stage walking/jogging/running events, and we put on our own events when there is nothing else on the weekend calendar.
We have nearly 1,000 members from 23 states, and we are always delighted to have new friends to walk/jog/run with.
