GREATNESS STARTS HERE

Since our inception in 1995, the West Vancouver Track & Field Club has emerged as an undisputed powerhouse, driving the pulse of track and field excellence across the North Shore and Sea-to-Sky regions. Our athletes don't just compete ― they conquer. With a legacy marked by podium triumphs at provincial, national, and international stages, including the shattering of world records, our Club stands as a beacon of relentless pursuit and unparalleled achievement.

In 2020, we entered a new chapter by merging with the respected Hershey Harriers Athletic Club. This unification brought together two of the region’s most accomplished track and field organizations, combining decades of experience and success under one banner. Today, we’re proud to carry forward that shared legacy as we support the next generation of athletes representing British Columbia and Canada on the world stage.

Join us and help write our next chapter!
