Founded in 2001, Mammoth Track Club is the top-ranked long-distance running group in America. The creation of this elite team is a joint effort of two world-renowned coaches, Joe Vigil & Bob Larsen, with financial and administrative backing from Running USA. The mission of the group is to return US distance running to the dominant force it was in the 1970s and 1980s. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, two team members won medals in the marathon, a silver for Meb Keflezighi and a bronze for Deena Kastor. In the five years since then, Coach Terrence Mahon and Mammoth Track Club have continued to re-establish the United States as a powerhouse among the world leaders in distance running.
