Sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, the Quinte Legion Track & Field Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing athletes in the greater Quinte area with an opportunity to excel at Track and Field and Cross Country running.  The Club, Coaches and Athletes are registered with the Ontario Track and Field Association, the Ontario Minor Track Association and the Ontario Masters Track and Field Association. Our athletes participate and compete at all levels including local, regional, provincial, national and international levels.  We draw members from the greater Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland Counties.  Well over 100 athletes were involved in the various programs offered in 2007.

Excellent facilities provided by the City of Belleville offer a friendly opportunity for both recreational and competitive athletes to train together.  Our athletes are successful on a variety of levels, from personal fitness goals to highly competitive championship levels. They also apply the same dedication, determination and goal-setting skills learned through athletics to succeed as leaders in their education, as citizens in other areas for the future. 

Throughout all non-competitive and competetive age groups, QLTFC athletes can count on support from their Parents, Coaches and fellow athletes.  This provides an environment in which everyone is accepted and encouraged. Since success is measured by personal improvement, each athlete is recognized for his or her accomplishments.

The Quinte Legion Track & Field Club is able to operate through generous support from HAI Precision Waterjets and many other companies in the Quinte Area.
