Track & Field Meets and Major Road Races in 2024
The schedule for 2024 is now available. It will be updated throughout the coming months. Dates, times and locations will be finalized once they are announced and registration opens. Some meets are based off the dates these took place in previous years and might need updating. This is a list I painstakingly put together for myself and the Masters Athletes I coach and those on the Arizona Masters Track and Field Facebook Page. It is not a list that one could find without knowing what to look for, so I hope this benefits you and hope to see you at some of these meets! Senior Games in Arizona and bordering/nearby states will be posted on here as well.
