Entry Information

You must be a 2020 USATF member (or member of another WMA recognized affiliate) to enter the Championships. If you do not have a 2020 membership, please complete a membership application first. You must also meet the eligibility requirements. *Note: If you are a multi-year member through at least 2020 you may enter using your 2020 USATF membership number.

Entry Process

• Member athletes in good standing of USATF or of other WMA recognized masters affiliates are eligible to compete. Non-USA affiliated athletes cannot displace USA affiliated athletes for places, and cannot score team points. At least 2/3 of the athletes advanced to finals must be athletes who are USA affiliated as determined by WMA. The number of athletes advanced to finals may be increased, where feasible.

• A 2020 USATF membership is required for USA affiliated athletes to enter online (please join online if you are not a member). Non-USA affiliated athletes must present evidence that they are members in good standing of their appropriate affiliate. Letters attesting to their status should be addressed to Jerry Bookin-Weiner, Interim Chair, USATF Masters Track and Field Committee at mtfchair@usatf.org.

• To enter online without an entry mark, put NT or NM in the Mark box during the entry process.

• A Help Line is available for those athletes who need assistance with the entry process. For assistance, call the USATF National Office at 317-261-0500 during normal business hours, 8:30 AM–5:00 PM ET Monday–Friday.

• If after completing your entry the status of entry page indicates “info needed” you should fax or email a copy of your birth certificate or the information page of your passport--with your membership number written on it--to the USATF National Office at 800-833-1466 to the attention of Elizabeth Guarneri or elizabeth.guarneri@usatf.org.
