The Speed River Track and Field Club was founded in 1997 by Dave Scott-Thomas as a club for University of Guelph student athletes and local runners.  Over the past eighteen years the club has grown in size and scope, to accommodate and attract athletes of all ages from across the country and has developed into one of the strongest track and field clubs in Canada.   At the 2016 Rio Olympics seven Speed River athletes represented the club at the games.
