Brooks Beast Track Club

The Brooks Beast Track Club is a group of professional middle- and long-distance runners sponsored by Brooks Running. The group includes runners specializing in distances from the 800 meters to the 5000 meters. The group trains primarily in Seattle, WA under coach Danny Mackey.[1]

Brooks Beast's roster currently features Nia Akins, Brannon Kidder, Allie Buchalski, David Ribich, Allie Ostrander, Drew Windle, Karisa Nelson, Garrett Heath, Marta Pen Freitas Pires, Henry Wynne, Izaic Yorks, Josh Kerr, Ryan Vail, and Spencer Brown.[2][3]

In addition to the core Beast athletes, Brooks also sponsors a group of at-large athletes that train under Mackey with the main Beast athletes.

Brooks Beast was formed in 2013 when Brooks took up the task of launching a professional track team with the goal of helping athletes win medals at National, World, and Olympic championships.[4]

Beast athletes include National, Worlds and Olympic qualifiers and multiple NCAA champions and record-holders in both Division 1 and Division 2.
