Who We Are/Our Philosophy

WTC is a non-profit organization in Waltham, Massachusetts, which offers instruction and competition in track and field, cross country, road racing, and marathon running to participants of all abilities from in and around the Waltham area (you do not have to be a Waltham resident to become a member).

If a man does his best, what else is there? – General George S. Patton

WTC has no tryouts or talent requirements; all are welcome, even beginners. The club’s philosophy, described in detail in our Philosophy, Policies, and Procedures Guide, emphasizes individual achievement rather than winning, and all members, regardless of their skill, are encouraged to be the best that they can be.

WTC currently offers an open/masters program for females ages 15 and older, conducted year-round, a high school program, and three programs for youth, open to boys and girls ages 8-14: outdoor track and field from April through July, indoor track and field from December through February, and cross country in the fall. More information about these programs may be found here.
