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. OAC trains primarily out of Boulder, Colorado.[2] On also sponsors sister clubs "OAC Europe" coached by Thomas Dreissigacker and "OAC Oceania" coached by Craig Mottram.[3][4][5][6] In July 2023, Kelsey Quinn was announced as assistant coach for the team.[7]
Non-championship accomplishments
Colorado's First 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]
Hellen Obiri Marathon Success
In the 2023 Boston Marathon, Obiri won the race in a time of 2:21:38.[9] She then won the 2023 New York City Marathon in 2:27:23, becoming the first woman since 1989 to win both races in the same year.[10]
At the 2024 Boston Marathon, Obiri won her second straight Boston marathon beating second place finisher, Sharon Lokedi, by eight seconds in a time of 2:22:37.[11]
