The Speed River New Balance Track and Field Club was founded in 1997 by Dave Scott-Thomas as a club for University of Guelph student athletes and local runners. Over the past eighteen years the club has grown in size and scope, to accommodate and attract athletes of all ages from across the country and has developed into one of the strongest track and field clubs in Canada. Since 2007 eight Speed River athletes have represented Canada at a Major Championships including two athletes at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and four athletes at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
The Speed River Track and Field Club is committed to growing the sport of athletics within the city of Guelph and Wellington County. Our objective is to provide programming from the playground to the podium and to help our athletes become the best they can be.
Club Focus
Our club’s focus centres on three groups. Developing youth athletes with a particular focus on high school age athletes, providing a summer competitive opportunity for members of the University of Guelph Track and Field program and developing international class post-collegiate athletes.
The Speed River Track and Field Club is pleased to partner with the Children's Foundation of Guelph and Wellington in their Free To Play program. Athletes who have demonstrated financial need can apply through the Free To Play website to have their fees covered. Please alert Club Manager Chris Moulton, if you intend to apply.
