From the CPTC Benefit Committee:

The Central Park Track Club is thrilled to announce that legendary coach Frank “Gags” Gagliano will be the club’s featured speaker and guest of honor at its third annual benefit on Saturday, September 26th.

A New York City native from East 238th Street in the Bronx, Gags has been coaching track for nearly five decades and has instructed athletes at the high school, collegiate, open, and masters levels. Over the years he has produced an incredible 140 All-Americans and 11 Olympians.

Behind every athletic success, there is the guidance, support, and wisdom of a coach. We hope you will join us on the 26th as we try to wring as much wisdom from Gags as we can and as we support our own coaches and help them continue to guide the club toward its bright future ahead.
