About the Twin City Track Club

The Twin City Track Club (TCTC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting running and fitness in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area since 1977. We are North Carolina's oldest running club and one of the largest clubs in the Southeast. Our members are a cross-section of the community, representing runners and walkers of all abilities. We have group activities to promote the social aspects of running, and bring in nationally known speakers to educate and inspire, and we assist other organizations with their organized running events. We are a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) and United States Track and Field (USATF).

$5K Race Series

April marks the kickoff of the 2021 $5K Series! The $5K is designed as a low-key race for the athletes who want to run a tune-up race to prepare for their targeted event, the novice who may be intimidated by the larger events, and runners/walkers who want an event to test themselves without breaking the bank. You do not have to be a TCTC member to participate; however, we think you would enjoy the benefits of a TCTC membership and we would love to have you. Members run the $5K series for FREE and receive a discount on ALL TCTC sponsored races!

2021 Dates:

Tuesday, June 8 at 6:30pm
Tuesday, July 13 at 6:30pm
Tuesday, August 10 at 6:30pm
Tuesday, September 14 at 6:30pm
Tuesday, October 12 at 6:00pm (Starting earlier for daylight finish)
The 2021 $5K Series will also feature a new course!

Train for Ultimate Runner at the Summer Track Series

The TCTC Summer Track Series is a great tune-up for the Ultimate Runner Event.  The Summer Track Series (4 meets) is held at the Bob Soznik Track at Hanes Park, near the R.J. Reynolds High School gym in Winston-Salem. For 2021, the first meet is on Wednesday, May 26 and continues on June 2, 9 and 16.  All of the meets start at 6:00 PM. There is no entry fee. You may run as many events as you like. These events are for runners of all abilities and ages. We will have a digital clock set up, but there will be no official timekeeping or records kept.

Please practice social distancing if you plan to participate.

Ultimate Runner Registration is Open!

Ultimate Runner will be held on June 26 at the Bob Soznik Track at Hanes Park.  Runners of all ages and abilities are invited to escape the ho-hum of ordinary road races. Five events in one night, four on the track and a 5K cross country. You must complete all five events to get a finishing score and receive the coveted Ultimate Runner t-shirt and a 4.91 Ultimate Runner car decal.

TCTC Mission and Vision Statements

Concurrent with its 30th anniversary, Twin City Track Club adopted new mission and vision statements to guide planning and activities over the coming years and decades. We are proud of our 30 year history and the contributions we have made to running in the Winston-Salem area. Our hope is to continue our heritage of positive impact in our community through our activities, events, and services. The following statements were approved by the TCTC Board on August 20, 2017.

Mission: To inspire and support all runners in our community

Vision: We aspire to build a healthy and socially connected community through running events, activities, support and information

We look forward to engaging all TCTC members to embrace and demonstrate our commitment to these aims.

Twin City Track Club Website

Twin City Track Club (TCTC) transitioned to a new website platform hosted by RunSignUp in 2017.  This platform provides many features to help club members and the running community at large to seek and find information of value.  In particular is the integration of the TCTC website to race pages and results that are hosted on the RunSignUp registration site.  We welcome your comments and feedback on the structure and content of this site.  You can forward your comments to webmaster@twincitytc.org.
