The Greater Rochester Track Club (GRTC) traces its origins back to July 1, 1958 when the old Rochester Track Club (RTC) was founded. Peter Todd, then cross country and track coach at the Rochester Institute of Technology was elected as the President and served as such until 1976. Along with Todd, the original members of the RTC were Herb Wabnitz, Gary Thompson, Jerry Fuhrman and Ed Duncan. Since those early years GRTC has morphed into a club determined to, "Make Rochester the best place for runners" offering a variety of opportunities for runners of all skill levels!
