Based in Austin, Texas, the club was informally founded in 1988 by a small group of adults determined to promote track and field events as a “sport for life!” Very few (if any) sports provide the same benefits to health that the sport of track and field does. The variety of activities helps improve bone density, circulation, and overall strength.
We travel to local, national & international meets together. A handful of us went to Gateshead, England in 1999, Puerto Rico in 2003, Honolulu and San Sebastian, Spain in 2005, Riccione, Italy in 2007! We support each other no matter what. We’ve got throwers, jumpers, sprinters, hurdlers and middle-distance folks, adults of all ages.
We also help officiate at multiple meets around the state, giving back to the sport we love, while providing essential support for the direction of meets such as the Annual Lions/Waterloo Championships and the Annual Lions/Waterloo Relays. Check out the website
ORT created a “Flotrackr” group that will allow you to post workouts of ALL types and keep a running log. Here’s what’s special about, ORF coaches will be able to see your posted workouts, runs, and give training advice or just encouragement! If you understand how important accountability is, than you’ll see value in this free tool.
This is a powerful running tool. You can specifically upload each training shoe you own, track the training mileage on each one, view what others are training in and what they think about them. You can track and share and race results as well as upload race videos. Create and share running logs and maps with the Flotrack and ORF Flotrackr group.

Speed work is needed for endurance runners and endurance is needed for short distance runners to support balance in the body. Complete your training for a half or full marathon with the Gazelles, they have pace groups for all level of runners.
