We have been hit really hard with race cancellations in 2021 because of the pandemic.
The 1-mile Championship that was scheduled for June in Rochester, New York has now been officially cancelled.
The Half Marathon Championship that was scheduled for November 14 has been deferred to March 20, 2022.
Our remaining 2021 Calendar looks like this:
- USATF Masters 12k Championship on September 19 as part of By Hook or By Crook 12k in Sandy Hook, NJ.
- USATF Masters 5k XC Championship on October 17 near Boston, MA.
- USATF Club Cross Country Championships on December 11 in Tallahassee, FL. (part of the 2022 Grand Prix)
Points for the 2020-2021 Grand Prix can be earned in each of the first two events. Click here for the rules and scoring for this year’s National Grand Prix.
This year, the Grand Prix individual and team awards will be awarded at a special celebration as part of the National Club Cross Championships in Tallahassee on December 11. Hopefully, by then we can gather safely as we are planning an after-race party for all masters participants.
Championship Schedule for 2022
For 2022, we are focused on 9 events for our National Grand Prix. They will include 5 road races, 3 XC events, and the WMA Championships in Finland. So far, everything is coming together very well. At this point, we have either contractual or verbal commitments for all 9 events. Importantly, we are committed to publishing the entire 2022 schedule by October 2021. The 2022 Masters Grand Prix schedule will kick off with the 2021 USATF Club Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee.
