40 Years

This week 40 years ago

Boston Marathon 1974, GBTC & Boston Billy

We trace our roots back to Coach Squires. He affectionately refers to me as "tattoo Joe". Coach Squires a.k.a. "The Wack" with his infamous hair piece a.k.a. "Willamina" is one of Americas greatest influences in road racing. At one time, his athletes ruled the world of road racing. He gives everyone a nickname, speaks in sentence fragments and can barely hold his attention for the life of a mayfly. He is loved throughout the running community and his influence stretches from Track Town USA in Oregon to Peachtree Road Boot Camp.
