Founded in 1973, the Greater Boston Track Club had humble beginnings but
was quick to establish itself as a force of competitive runners.
Initially an all-inclusive club of sprinters, hurdlers and
middle-distance runners, the club evolved under the brilliant leadership
of Coach Bill Squires. The club boasts nearly eighty regional, national
and international titles. It has bred world-class runners such as
Olympian Bill Rodgers (four-time winner of the Boston and New York
marathons) and Olympian Alberto Salazar (three-time winner of the New
York marathon and winner of the Boston and the Comrades Ultra
marathons). Author Paul C. Clerici honors the Greater Boston Track Club
through historical records and the experiences of those involved in its
legacy.
