Cincinnatus Elite is the advanced division of the Cincinnatus Track Club. Its mission is to serve as a premier training ground for elite runners, providing a dedicated environment where they can push their limits and pursue their highest goals through rigorous competition, camaraderie, and a shared passion for the sport.
Founded in 2019 by passionate runners Kyle Klingler and Jack Randall, CE began with modest beginnings. What started as a couple of friends transitioning into their post-collegiate running phase quickly evolved into something more. Fueled by their enduring enthusiasm, they gathered a small team of friends, and thus, CE was born. Today, our community has expanded to over 100 members.
Despite our growth, our mission remains steadfast: to offer a supportive environment where athletes at all levels are inspired to continue growing and excelling in local, national, and global running events. By joining Cincinnatus Elite, you gain access to weekly team runs, group workouts, exclusive events, product demos and discussions, and a community that is there quite literally every step of the way.
