Elite Athletes

In the interest of aiding and developing our athletes who are chasing U.S Championship qualifying standards, PRTC is proud to support them in achieving their goals. Our elite athletes receive a great deal of support from out listed sponsors including shoes, gear, and performance bonuses. Elite athletes are eligible for travel and race entry grants that aim to make competing at a high level more accessible.
