The Bowerman Track Club (BTC) is an American training group sponsored by Nike, Inc. for professional distance runners as well as a separate recreational club for casual runners. The professional team is supported by head coach Jerry Schumacher and assistant Pascal Dobert.[2] The club maintains a rivalry with the competing Oregon Track Club, also sponsored by Nike, Inc.[3]
BTC athletes won three medals at the 2017 World Athletics Championships.[3] The club is named after Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman.
Purpose

"The Bowerman TC exists to provide runners of all abilities with the knowledge and motivation to pursue their individual goals. This extends to everyone in the running community whether their goal is to enjoy a relaxed & fun social setting for their runs, or to qualify for the Olympic Trials."[4]
