Now, more than ever, people are exercising as a way to stay fit in both mind and spirit. USATF – Long Island encourages a healthy lifestyle by promoting Track & Field as a sport for people of all ages. USATF – LI provides many opportunities for Masters Athletes (35 years old and over) to participate. Masters compete in 5 year age groups (35 – 39, 40 – 44, etc…).

Whether you are just starting out, a recreational runner or competing in World Championships, there is a USATF – LI event for you. USATF – LI organizes several track meets throughout the winter, spring and summer where athletes can run, jump and throw against others their own age. Also, in cooperation with USATF sanctioned races, USATF – LI holds both a road racing and cross-country grand prix where athletes compete in 5 year age groups, (Masters begins at age 40) and earn points based on their performances. To see prior results for track & field, road running and cross-country please click on the links located on the left.

In addition to the physical improvement in their lives, Masters Athletes enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow competitors. Many Masters Athletes join clubs. Clubs offer training tips and partners as well as providing motivation and support. There are also many opportunities for the clubs to compete as teams against each other. There are many clubs on Long Island for road and distance runners as well as some clubs that specialize in track & field.

USATF-LI member Kathy Martin was named USATF Athlete of the Week on October 5.  Kathy, a member of the Northport Running Club, set an American age-group record at the USA Masters 5k Championships in Syracuse, NY on October 2.  The newly minted 60 year old ran 19:04 to win her age group by more than a minute and break the record by 8 seconds.  In the age-graded results, Kathy scored 100.35%, tops for any competitor.  The following week, Kathy continued her assault on the W60-64 record book by completing the Chicago Marathon in 3:10:27, another American record.
