USA Track & Field

Sanctioned by USA Track & Field, the national governing body of track & field, long-distance running and race walking in the United States, the Bozeman Track Club is one of only a few youth track programs in the state offering both an indoor and outdoor track & field season and middle school cross-country program. Club members automatically become active members of USA Track & Field for the upcoming year and are registered to compete in nation-wide track & field events sanctioned by USA Track & Field.

As part of club membership the Bozeman Track Club purchases each of its athletes a membership to USA Track & Field, which is a requirement to compete in the State, Regional, and National Junior Olympic competitions and the National Youth Outdoor Track & Field Championship meets. USA Track & Field also provides club members with liability insurance while training in scheduled practice sessions, participating in sanctioned events, and traveling to and from sanctioned USA Track & Field competitions.

BTC is committed to promoting youth fitness and building better citizens in our community by educating youth, parents, and coaches about the positive results that come from leading a physically active, drug-free and healthy lifestyle. To this end the track club is a member of the "Be A Champion" health initiative implemented by USA Track & Field.
