Safety

Sanctions Coronavirus Response

These are challenging times! As we all navigate the momentous impact of COVID-19 on our daily lives and the lives of our loved ones, we are also faced with the reality that it has impacted the sports world significantly. USATF wants to assure you that we take the health, safety, and well-being of our sanctioned event organizers and sanctioned event participants seriously. We are monitoring the situation related to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 very closely. 

USATF is following guidance issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). For those still hosting sanctioned events, USATF’s COVID-19 Working Group of medical and scientific professionals have established guidance for minimum standards you must follow as a USATF Sanctioned Event. Additionally, to protect the safety of your participants, you should follow any guidelines or restrictions issued by your local municipalities, which may be more stringent. Please see the following suggested safety precautions issued by the CDC for mass gathering events. Please know, USATF supports you, our sanctioned event organizers, as you make difficult decisions about the future of your events but we strongly urge you to err on the side of participant safety.
