Want to Compete? Join Our Track Club Tiers

Our Track Club offers three performance tiers to support athletes at every level — from beginners to national competitors. All athletes must meet Tier 1 Standards at a time trial to officially join the team. Once qualified, we assign each athlete to a tier based on ability and goals.

Season Structure & Practices

Our club offers three competitive seasons throughout the year — Cross Country, Indoor Track & Field, and Outdoor Track & Field. Each season is unique, with differences in practice frequency, calendar length, and meet opportunities. Each practice session lasts 1.5–2 hours and includes skill development, strength, conditioning, and event-specific training.

All NEW Athletes must pay for uniforms through the team store linked below.

NEW – Cross Country 2025

September 8 – November 21

Practice & Meet Balance

The value of each season is not only in practice count but also in the competition opportunities, timing, and seasonal progression. Indoor athletes, for example, have more races available than during July’s Outdoor extension.

3 – Tier System

Which Tier Am I?”

We train All Levels — from beginner to national elite. Our team is structured by Tiers, so each athlete trains at the intensity that matches their goals and meet access level.

Track + Field Prep Pass (Indoor & Outdoor Seasons Only)

Not on the Team? Still Want to Train?

You can still train with us during Indoor and Outdoor Seasons with our flexible Prep Pass:

  • Event-specific coaching (sprints, mid-distance, hurdles, strength)

  • Professional training without the pressure of team meets

  • Perfect for multi-sport athletes or those building toward Tier 1

  • Flexible scheduling: Drop-ins or Session Passes available

You can still train with us!

Not every athlete joins the team right away — and that’s okay.
At Benswic, we train all levels. Start where you are, and build from there.

What We Follow

Structure ​

Success isn't instant. Our program is an investment. We aim for each athlete to transition from collegiate to pro status.

Commitment

Our coaches focus on athlete improvement. To achieve this, we advise all athletes associated with our brand to attend every practice and recommended meets.

Willingness to be Great!​

Athletes are expected to exceed coach's requests. We train them for independence, ensuring they self-train on non-practice days. This prepares them to compete solo at meets, without coach or teammate support.

Uniform Fees

The link will take you to our team store with Ares Sportswear, where you can purchase your required uniforms. The mandatory uniform includes the Warmup Suit (top and bottom) and Racing Gear (tank/singlet, compression tights, and loose shorts).

IMPORTANT: The team store is only open for the first two weeks of the season, as uniforms are custom-made and require time for production. If you miss the deadline, we may be able to reopen the store—please communicate with the coach as soon as possible.

Elite Track & Skill Lab camp

Unleash the Mechanics. Master the Technique. Own Your Event.

Train like a champion. From sprint starts to mid-distance efficiency, this isn’t mileage—it’s mastery. PRIME is NYC’s only skill-focused summer development lab built for every runner, from 100m to 3200m. Three days a week. Eight weeks of transformation.
