    2022
    COVID-19 significantly impacted the ability for in-person racing in 2020 and 2021. Ultimately, in 2020 the entire slate of races canceled in-person racing and in 2021, still faced with much uncertainty at the beginning of the year, USATF ADK went forward with an augmented series.

    Ahead of 2021, we decided that the selected 2020 slate of races (voted on by members) would be pushed out to 2022. As such, 2020 events were given priority for 2022 – and with some good luck all but one officially confirmed!

    Here is the 2022 Grand Prix Schedule: Individual and team participation/scoring information including information about complete-the-series can be found here.

    Series Rules/Guidelines & Event Application Process
    With respect to the unique situation we continue to find ourselves in, we have conscientiously modified how we will deploy the 2021 USATF ADK LDR Grand Prix with hopes that the changes for this year will maximize our competitive opportunities to find ourselves on true race start lines. In short, the series has been redesigned to permit all interested events to be part of the series should they meet the qualifications outlined in the rules and guidelines (linked below).
     
    The main goal is to provide as many opportunities for safe in-person competition as possible over the course of the year. We welcome USATF members to review the rules for individual and team competition here. If you have not already done so, you can renew your USATF membership for 2021 here. 
     
    Race directors (and everyone else) are also welcome to learn how their event can be a part of the series here.
