2021 USATF So Cal Road Running Grand Prix Dates Announced

by

The USATF So Cal Road Running Grand Prix provides a total of $1,650 in cash awards and championship medals to the top 5 overall men’s and women’s scorers. Gold, silver, and bronze USATF medals will also be awarded to the top 3 scorers in 11 men’s and women’s individual 5-year age groups. Championship plaques will be awarded to the top 10 scoring clubs. Prize money is not awarded to youth competitors.

2021 USATF So Cal Road Running Grand Prix Event Schedule

NOTE: The USATF Southern California Association Road Running Grand Prix Series has been abbreviated due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the fluidity of race postponements and cancellations, the number of Grand Prix races may change after the schedule is posted. Therefore, rather than setting a specific number of “best” races to be counted for each individual’s year-end score, the final scores will be based on 50% of the Grand Prix races which were actually held. As such, prize money amounts have been adjusted to reflect the abbreviated season.

Due to the extenuating circumstances caused by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the country, Rule 306 Junior Olympics Program (found in 2021 USATF Competition Rules) cannot be followed in its entirety. Therefore, the Youth Division, with support, and cooperation from the Association Executive Committee and endorsement of the National Office, has decided that for the competition year 2021, local Association and Regional Championship meets will not serve to qualify youth athletes into the National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships on July 26 – August 01, 2021 in Jacksonville, Florida.

Although there will be no advancement requirements (Association or Region), in an effort to preserve the integrity of the JOTF National Championship suggested “Guidelines of Participation” for direct entry into the 2021 USATF National Junior Olympic Championships will be provided shortly. These guidelines will be posted on-line (www.usatf.org) and on athletic.net (registration site). Athletes and coaches are encouraged to review these suggested “Guidelines for Participation” when considering entry into this National Championship.

*WAIVER* USATF Youth Division waiver for athletes to enter the Junior Olympics who may not have produced a time or mark good enough to enter the meet like other Associations in the country. The deadline to submit this form is the same as the registration deadline to enter the meet. Decisions on which waivers will be approved will happen within a couple of days after the deadline.
