Empire Elite is The PREMIERE distance track team based in New York City.

 

OUR VISION

Launched January 2021, Empire Elite Track Club is a professional running team based in the New York City metropolitan area.

Empire Elite (EE) was founded by its coaches, Tom Nohilly and John Trautmann, with two main missions in mind:

01: To support and develop athletes as they pursue their maximum potential. When we maximize individual potential, we are optimizing team success.

02: Inspire others, and empower their vision. Running is one of the most fundamental forms of sport. We want to share our stories, our journey, and the ways in which we overcome adversity as a means to empower your goals and dreams.

 

AIM,  EXECUTE, BUILD

Empire Elite is preparing to advance on all international and local competitive stages. We are aiming for the US Olympic Trials, the Paris Olympics 2024, and the World Track and Field Championships in 2023.

Training is our ever-evolving craft. Racing is everything we’ve got, an expression of our craft.

Empire Elite is looking forward to putting on an exciting show in 2021 and beyond.
