Mark Wetmore (born June 29, 1953) is an American cross country and track coach who specializes in middle-distance and long-distance running.
[1] In June 2023, it was confirmed that Wetmore's contract with University of Colorado would not be renewed, ending his longstanding career at the school.
He eventually named the team "Edge City Track Club" in 1972, after being inspired by Tom Wolfe's book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, which discusses the hippie counterculture and living on the periphery of existence.
[1] In 1995, Wetmore accepted an additional duty to coach the women's distance team at University of Colorado.
[1][5] In 1998, former Princeton runner Chris Lear documented Colorado's cross country season under Wetmore's coaching and later published his work in his book, Running with the Buffaloes.
