President - WILL NGO

I found running relatively late in life as a way to clear my head after long days of staring at screens as an architectural designer.  I ran on my own for about 6 months before moving to Brooklyn and joining the Prospect Park Track Club.  Nearly all of my time running with any consistency has been with PPTC.

As a new runner, I was certain I’d never be able to contribute to the club by being fast; but I quickly developed an appreciation of both the sport and the club that I began looking for ways to give back.  Since joining PPTC in 2018, I’ve contributed to the Social, Grants, Training and Competing and Diversity Committee.  I’ve also served as Race Director for our annual Turkey Trot and currently serve as Co-chair of our Clothing Committee and Design Team.

PPTC continues to be a part of my life that I truly value and a resource for so many people to find support, community and form new friendships.  Whenever possible, I try to find ways for our members to feel included and involved.  Over the years, I’ve worked on establishing and building connections outside of the club to enhance PPTC’s role in the community and find opportunities to benefit our members. 

 
 

VICE PRESIDENT - Clark McCaskill

Growing up, I was an active kid, frequently biking in my neighborhood and hiking with my Scout troop. My journey into running began in my late 20s as a way to boost my mental and physical well-being. I joined PPTC in 2019 once I felt confident running six miles. The mental benefits of running drew me to the activity, but the community and accountability I found in PPTC cemented my commitment to the sport. 

I enjoy competitive racing, but my real joy sprang from the friendships and community I found through running. In 2022, I took an active role in PPTC’s social and membership committees, leading initiatives to foster connections through different activities like field days, hikes, and ice skating social events. Now serving as a board member, I am dedicated to nurturing the club’s core values of community, camaraderie, connection, and inclusivity. Embracing the motto "All paces welcome," I look forward to contributing to the club's ongoing growth, success, and inclusivity.

I joined PPTC in December 2019 as a way to get some motivation to start running and to get healthier. Ever since, I have gotten more than I could have ever imagined. Through PPTC I have made friends and have ran multiple marathons. I also gained a lot of confidence in myself as a runner and as a person. Being a slow and steady runner, and joining a running club, can be quite intimidating because of the fear of not having anyone to run with or being judged on pace. But as a member of PPTC I have never faced those issues. I want everyone that joins PPTC to feel like they have the support and resources needed to accomplish whatever their running goals are, regardless of their background or running experience. I believe in PPTC's mission and hope that I can expand PPTC's impact on the community.

I joined PPTC in 2009 after running the NYC marathon and seeing how supportive and welcoming the club was to its members. I have seen the club grow over the years and deeply value this vibrant and caring community, from which I have gotten so much support and friendship. As someone who started running at age 38, I enjoy encouraging and supporting runners of all ages and paces. I have served as a pacer on many PPTC runs, including the last 10-mile runs (the week before the NYC marathon) and the popular "no drop" runs. I joined the PPTC Board in August 2022 and have taken on different roles including being the MC of PPTC's inaugural talent show, moderating the 2022 NYC marathon panel discussion, helping to launch PPTC's race assistance fund, and being a member of the diversity committee. I am honored to continue to serve on the Board.
