Entry Information

  • Online entry is the preferred method of entry.
  • A 2010 USATF membership is required to enter the Championships. Join Today!
  • To enter the Championships, you will be required to provide your 2010 USATF membership number and password. Retrieve your password.
  • Entries close to the deadlines: Although we will make every reasonable effort, we cannot guarantee responses to requests for passwords. Please do not wait until the last minute to enter!
  • Note to club coaches: If an athlete will only be an additional relay alternate (i.e., the athlete is not entered in any individual events and is not entered as one of the four relay team members or two primary alternates), you must submit an individual entry for that athlete. Enter the athlete in the event called "Relay Roster Only"; the cost is $8. This athlete will then be eligible to run on any relay.
  • A help Line is available for those athletes who need assistance with the entry process. For assistance, call the USATF National Office at 317-713-4678 during normal business hours, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET Monday-Friday.
  • After completing your entry online, please fax a copy of your birth certificate, driver’s license, or the information page of your passport to the USATF National Office at 800-833-1466.
