ABOUT DTC ELITE
Dayton Track Club's Elite Program is a high-level running club, designed to provide top open, masters, grand masters, and senior Dayton runners with the support they need to excel.
​
Founded in 2009 as Runners Plus Elite, (rebranded to "Dayton Track Club Elite" in 2020) the running group has been a resource and staple of the Ohio elite running and racing community. It provides a powerful network of top athletes, discounts and gear, and organized runs.
​
The club has had an Olympian, five Olympic Trials qualifiers, and collegiate All-Americans.
