The club was originally sparked by Gary Tuttle and Danny Ruffin in the mid 1970's and met at Gary's Inside Track Running Store on Main Street in Ventura. Continued interest and growth dictated a more formal approach, so a constitution and board of officers were initiated in 1978, and current officers are elected annually. Prospective members should not assume that the club is only oriented toward elite or competitive runners. The primary membership benefits is being able to share goals and experiences with more experience and talent. The interests and activities of current members range from track and field competition to ultra distance running, and numerous events in between.
Many members are also active in complementary sports such as cycling, swimming, and pizza eating.
