Our mission is to drive competitive excellence and popular engagement in our sport in a safe environment for all. USATF brings together athletes, coaches, community leaders, officials, volunteers, and fans to grow track & field, race walking, and long-distance running. We fuel the connection to our sport and the sense of belonging to one team: Team USATF.
We identify, develop, and support athletes to represent the United States at the biggest events in the world, from the World Championships to the Olympics. We’re proud of the legacy of outstanding American track and field athletes we’ve helped create, and with your support, we can continue bringing promising talent from the neighborhood track to the Olympic podium.
