ORLANDO – DECEMBER 5, 2025 – The inaugural USATF Tour will include 17 World Athletics labeled track and field meets and make up nearly three-and-half months of entertaining, world-class competition. The schedule for the Tour was announced at USATF’s annual meeting in Orlando. It will kick-off March 28 with The Ten in San Juan Capistrano, California and conclude with a double-header; the Ed Murphey Classic in Memphis, Tennessee and the Sunset Tour in Los Angeles, CA. The meet also includes the professional events at historic meets like the Drake, Penn and Mt. SAC Relays as well as USATF’s two Grand Prix meets on June 6 and 14. A complete schedule can be found here. Full meet schedules will be released in the spring.
The USATF Tour is a series of independently owned and operated track and field meets in the United States that meet the criteria for a bronze, silver or gold label from World Athletics.
USA Track & Field, the national governing body for athletics, collaborated with meet organizers to create a competition calendar that is maximized for athletes, sponsors and fans by ensuring multiple, unique opportunities for all discipline groups to earn points in the World Athletics ranking system. As part of the collaboration, USATF will provide all costs associated with drug testing, technical delegates, sanctioning and insurance. It will prioritize Tour meets when allocating travel funding for tiered athletes and supplement the costs of any additional disciplines to the program if needed. USATF will also support the meets with marketing and media coverage of everything from ticket sales to performance highlights. It also announced today that it will award $50,000 in prize money to the male and female athlete who earn the highest number of World Athletics performance points in their three highest-scoring competitions during the series.
“The events included in the USATF Tour and the people who work hard to put them on are the backbone of elite-level track and field competition in the United States,” said Max Siegel, CEO of USATF. “We see this tour as not only a way to create the best domestic opportunities for U.S. athletes, but also a way to highlight and amplify the work these events do to grow the sport.”
While most events will be broadcast live on USATF.tv, events with existing broadcast agreements will remain on those platforms. You can find ticket, broadcast and entry information for all meets on the newly-launched USATF Tour website.
Also today, USATF celebrated an expansion of USATF Campus, creating an interactive online community for members to experience the same resources they might find on a college campus. This includes unique Campus experiences, such as The Classroom with free online courses and webinars, The Library with access to a wide variety of articles and expert-led educational materials, The Community, with group discussions and meetings with elite coaches and athletes, and The Laboratory, with unique calculators and tools understand and compare athletes and performances.
“As the national governing body, we have access to the experts and information that will drive interest as well as improve performance,” said Siegel. “It’s our job to share that with our membership and we are proud to do that now in a way that has not been done before.”
Currently free to all, USATF Campus will require a USATF membership in early 2026. You can explore the new website here.
