As one of the 57 USA Track and Field associations, the Mid -Atlantic USATF governs the sports of track & field, long-distance running, cross country, race walking, and mountain/ultra-distance/trail running within the Mid-Atlantic region. We create, conduct, and oversee programs to provide opportunities for athletes of all ages to participate in the sport. The Mid-Atlantic Association offers members competition in road racing with an annual Grand Prix Circuit, an Off Road Running Series and Cross Country Championships. Use the navigation to learn more about each discipline.
Long Distance Running
GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT
Conducted since 1991, the Grand Prix Circuit has been created to enhance the quality of road racing experiences for Mid-Atlantic athletes. These races represent popular distances, using USATF-certified courses and offering USATF sanctions. That means you can be assured that each race meets the highest standards of management this area can provide. The circuit offers long distance runners an opportunity to participate throughout the calendar year at a variety of distances and in locations around the tri-state area. The circuit provides both age-graded individual and club competition. Whatever your level of ability, this circuit has something for you. Use these links for more information:

OFF ROAD RUNNING SERIES
Beginning in 2003, the Off-Road Series has been created to offer USA Track & Field Mid-Atlantic members a competitive alternative to road racing. The series seeks to introduce runners to different off-road races, i.e. trail running and XC. Our emphasis is on competition among club teams, but unattached USATF-Mid Atlantic members are welcome to participate. Use these links for more information:
