QUINTE LEGION LYNX TRACK AND FIELD CLUB

Region's best source for track and field

Affiliated with Athletics Ontario, Minor Track Association of Ontario and The Royal Canadian Legion

In the Legion’s early days, Legionnaires promoted youth sports as a way to help children whose fathers or mothers were serving abroad. From these informal beginnings, the Legion developed local, provincial and national youth athletics programs.

Today, Legion Branches support youth sports in their communities and help channel athletes into the Legion’s Provincial and National track and field programs.

The Legion’s National Youth Track and Field competition is the only one of its kind in Canada and has come to be regarded as one of the best in the country. Annually, it helps hundreds of athletes aged 12 to 17 years to develop their potential and strive to become Canada’s future Olympians. In fact, many of our former participants have gone on to international and Olympic success.

Quinte Legion TFC had an amazing 2024 season for a small track and field club. With support of local legions; the club was able to send athletes to the 46th Royal Canadian Legion Canadian National Championships held in Calgary, AB. where some 968 athletes from across Canada gathered to compete. Quinte Legion Lynx TFC placed 9th out of 39 track and field clubs in the country.
