On Athletics Club (OAC) is a training group of professional distance runners sponsored by On. The team is coached by Dathan Ritzenhein[1] and was founded in August 2020 with eight original members.

Non-Championship Notable Accomplishments

Colorado sub four minute mile

On August 3, 2020, Joe Klecker and Olli Hoare became the first people to ever break 4 minutes in the mile on Colorado soil. The long streak of no sub-4-minute miles is attributed to the elevation of the state.[8]

2023 Boston Marathon

In the 2023 Boston Marathon Hellen Obiri won the race in a time of 2:21:38.[9]
