Established in 1993 by former Agoura High School track and field and cross country coach Bill Duley, the nonprofit Future Track Running Club strives to improve the running skills of adult athletes, ranging from beginners to All-Americans. Members from many Los Angeles-area communities, including Agoura, Calabasas, Moorpark, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, and Simi Valley belong to the club. Some run competitively--from 100 meters to ultra-marathons--on tracks, trails, or roads. Others enjoy the exercise and camaraderie.
Recognized as a National Top High School Track Coach in 2000, Bill Duley now serves as coach of the Future Track Running Club. Duley has studied at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs in areas such as foot function and running stride. Additionally, he has worked in the ski industry, where he gained biomechanical knowledge. In 1998, Duley and a partner, who sold his interest a few months later, opened the Future Track Running Center. The center was named the best running store in the area by Los Angeles Sports and Fitness magazine in 2005. As a coach for nearly three decades, the founder of the running club has guided members, ranging from beginners and youth, to Olympic Trials qualifiers.
The Future Track Running Club holds regular evening workouts at the Oak Park High School track on Tuesdays and at Oaks Canyon Park on Thursdays. The training accommodates sprinters and distance runners. Individuals seeking to become fit or recover from injuries can also request special workouts. While the club does not organize group weekend runs, several members do gather informally to participate. As a stipulation of its agreement with Oak Park High School, the club cleans the track six times per year, with cleanups scheduled on Saturdays.
The annual membership dues for Future Track Running Club, which are $85 for a family and $60 for an individual, provide admission into the Road Runners Club of America and insurance. Members are also entitled to the quarterly Inside Track and Footnotes. The funds also cover any facility charges and support scholarships for area high-school seniors who have demonstrated an interest in cross country and track and field.
