Our Mission

Serving Athletes Across Nine Disciplines in the Pacific Region

USATF Pacific — the Northern California and Northern Nevada association of USA Track & Field — is the governing body for competitive track and field, road racing, cross country, and walking across the region. We sanction events, support clubs, certify officials, and develop the next generation of champions.

From the youngest youth competitor stepping onto a track for the first time to masters athletes still pushing personal records in their 80s, our association exists to make competitive athletics accessible, fair, and fulfilling at every level.
