Overview

Mission

Club Northwest provides leadership in and support for track and field, long distance running, cross country, race walking, and mountain/ultra/trail running for its members and for the community as a whole. We organize and conduct athletic events open to people of all ages, ability levels, races, ethnic backgrounds, and income levels. We broadcast information to the community about running.

What it reported doing in 2024

We put on several events for the running community in the Pacific Northwest. The Resolution Run is a 5k race held on January 1 of each year in Magnuson Park, Seattle. Approximately 1,000 runners take part and several dozen volunteers are necessary to execute the event. The Summer All-Comers Meet is a series of 12 track races held from May to August on Wednesday evenings. The meets are open to all ages and abilities and offer competition in sprints, jumps, throws, and distance events. The Winter Grand Prix is a two-mile race series from November to February that attracts hundreds of athletes during the winter months, particularly high school runners looking to stay in shape, improve, and compete between the fall cross country and spring track and field seasons. Other program services include maintenance of a Washington State best times list; organization of and support for teams that compete in local, regional, and national event; a youth track program; support for our elite members; regular Sunday run gatherings; and several other local community events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
