2021 Covid Resources and USATF-NE Event Status (updated regularly)

Current state guidelines and restrictions, status of association events

With the status of health regulations affecting all aspect of our sport changing on all levels on a daily basis, this page will address Covid-19 related USATF-NE resources and events status.  News covers information for ahtletes, coaches, and event directors (particularly event cancellations and postponements). It will be updated regularly.

USATF-NE has collected USATF guidelines along with the 4 USATF-NE state, local, and program specific resources onto a single reference page.    Information is changing almost daily and the info is not exhaustive, but this does provide material so clubs and events can prepare materials needed for resuming activities.  It should be your go-to page

The resource page (updated April 15) is found at 
sites.google.com/usatfne.org/usatf-ne-2-22-series/return-to-play

USATF national statements and policies from the national level relating to Covid-19 and return to practice/competition are at usatf.org/covid19

Ability to gain access to facilities, and to hold club practicies and competitions depend on following state and local restrictions which differ in every state.  Sport participation is characterized by risk level, and youth sports may have more specific restrictions. 

Some competitions are returning to the schedule in smaller or restricted formats, but most are still on hold.
Always contact the event even if it appears on a posted schedule as there may be changes or restrictions. 
The website will have news on NE championships and hosted events, including adds, postponements, and cancellations,
