Bowerman Track Club
The Bowerman Track Club (BTC) is an American training group sponsored by Nike, Inc. for professional distance runners as well as a separate recreational club for casual runners. The professional team is supported by head coach Jerry Schumacher and assistants Shalane Flanagan, Chris Solinsky, and Alex Ostberg.[2] The non-professional elite team is coached by Elliott Heath.[3] The club maintains a rivalry with the competing Oregon Track Club, also sponsored by Nike, Inc.[4] BTC athletes won three medals at the 2017 World Athletics Championships.[4] The club is named after Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman. The team moved from Portland to Eugene in 2022.[5] Gabriela DeBues-Stafford left the club in 2022, citing lack of clarity around Shelby Houlihan's continued relationship with the team following Houlihan's doping ban and Schumacher's opposition to AIU and WADA.[6][7] MissionAs the organization states itself:
