Here are a few links to some other fantastic groups we work with in our community.

Guelph Victors Track Club — The Victors started informally back in the 1990s under the guidance of Vic Matthews, the former U of G coach, race director, university professor, and all around great guy. After Vic passed in 2004, the club was named the “Victors” in his honour. Today, the club is open for anyone to join, boasting over 100 members. They offer Tuesday Track at Alumni Stadium from April to October, and Tempo Tuesday from Running Works from November to April.
