The Very Nice Track Club is a training group composed of middle- and long-distance runners based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The group is coached by former University of Michigan track and field coach Ron Warhurst.

The name of the club traces takes its origin in Warhurst's habit of yelling "very nice" at his athletes, words that he had tattooed on his butt at the 1992 Olympic Trials.[1] The group is very loosely based with no collective sponsor for all athletes and with many athletes training in different regions at different times, however they all retain affiliation with Warhurst as a coach.[2]
