Nosotros Track Club exists to show that world-class times are possible with world-class support. By providing funding, gear, competitive opportunities, and individualized resources, Nosotros/We empower runners to chase ambitious goals — together.
Whether you're coming off a college career, never had a team, or are years out and still not ready to stop — we all share:
- A passion for running, the thrill you only find when you're exploring your limits.
- The same barrier. No access to the structured training, team environment, coaching, and competitive opportunities that high-performance development requires.
Our Story
Nosotros Track Club was founded in Albuquerque in 1981 by Coach Mike Mittlstaedt — built for post-collegiate distance runners who weren't ready to stop competing. Three decades later, Coach Shane Cleveland, a Nosotros athlete himself, came back to rebuild it.
Cleveland carries on what Mittlstaedt started: a home for runners from any background, still chasing fast times, with the coaching and resources to back that up.
Nosotros is Spanish for "us," or "we." The team is greater than the individual. Belonging to something bigger makes every athlete faster.
