You must be a 2021 USATF member to enter the Championships. If you do not have a 2021 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 2021 you may enter using your 2021 USATF membership number.
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 2021 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 WMA Masters Affiliate. Letters attesting to their status should be addressed to Jerry Bookin-Weiner, Chair, USATF Masters Track and Field Committee at mtfchair@usatf.org.
Seed times/marks MUST originate from 2019, 2020, or 2021. Official times/marks outside of this window should not be used. To ensure the integrity of submitted times/marks, Meet management reserves the right to spot check with Masters Rankings and replace invalid marks with NT/NM in their place. 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.
