Members of a running club take to the track.
Running is one of the oldest sports in the world. It was an important method of travel and relaying messages in ancient Greece. Today there are running clubs all over the world encouraging and promoting running, whether you want to run 100 meters or a marathon. If you're interested in running track, it doesn't matter what age you are. Even after high school and college, many states have amateur track competitions in which anyone can enter.
