WELCOME TO
CCTF Events
The Camel City Track Foundation will support and organize track and field events for youth, high school, college and masters athletes. The Foundation’s marquee event each year will be Camel City Elite. The Foundation will also support other track and field events throughout the state and region, such as the Sir Walter Miler, held in Raleigh, NC, every August.
CCTF Sponsors
As a newly formed 501(c)3, the Camel City Track Foundation will be seeking individual and corporate donors to help further our mission of promoting health and physical fitness through track and field. Campaigns like the Camel City Crowd Fund will be just one way that the Camel City Track Foundation will look to raise money.
