Niagara Olympic Club (NOC) was established in 1994 to unite top-tier runners in the Niagara Region. We’ve since redefined our mission to welcome all track and field athletes in the area. Our goal is to not only foster a love for this sport but also to provide an opportunity for athletes to experience higher levels of fitness and competition that dedication, our coaching, and teamwork offer.
We are proud to say we are the only track and field team in all of Ontario with our own facility. This means we have exclusive access to a full 8-lane track with a steeplechase pit, long & triple jump pits, high jump & pole vault mats, as well as a javelin runway and shot put/discus cage. Our athletes enjoy having access to the facilities and equipment needed to train for their specific events. Throughout the year we work with blocks, various hurdle heights, and strength training tools such as kettlebells, medicine balls, and weight plates.
Athletes can take part in training year round with two to three practices a week. During the fall season from August to the end of November our distance runners train for cross country with some of the most experienced coaches in the region. Their training will vary between speed workouts at our track and at local cross country courses. Our sprinters, jumpers, and throwers spend this season focusing on strength and conditioning at our track. From November through March, our athletes move to an indoor track with practices locally at the Canada Games Centre. We move our track season preparation outdoors again at our own facility on Louth St. in St Catharines at the end of March through July.
Who Can Join
For those age 11 and older and passionate about running, jumping and throwing in Niagara, we encourage you to join us during any scheduled practice time. Just come dressed and ready to run! We’re excited to help you become a part of our dedicated and organized training programs.
Get an Edge on the Competition
For both elementary and high school track and field programs, student athletes gain a competitive edge by training throughout the year and arriving at the outdoor season extremely well-prepared. High school cross-country programs benefit from fully speed-trained and conditioned running athletes who’ve trained and competed throughout the summer.
Competing
We offer formal competition opportunities for our athletes at various levels, including Canadian National Championships, Athletics Ontario Provincial Championships, University/High School Meets, and All-Comers Meets.
