The Carolinas Track and Field Club, headquartered in Charlotte North Carolina, has
membership across North and South Carolina and competes under USA Track & Field
at the masters level. Masters track & field is for ages 30 and up, with competition
in five-year brackets (30-34, 35-39, 40-44, etc.). Club members range in age from
their 20's to those in their 80's, with overall membership being around 100 athletes.
The full schedule of track and field events recognized by
USATF are included in the competition.
Club membership is open to athletes of all skill levels, from beginner to elite.
Many members are returning to the sport after a long absence. Some members are in
serious training programs for national competition, and some are just out for fun
and to enjoy the fellowship and fresh air. CTFC practices at the Irwin Belk Track
at University of North Carolina at Charlotte on Tuesdays, Thursdays (5 PM) and Saturdays
(10 AM). Members may supplement organized practices by training on other days of
the week. Some choose to train individually and attend the meets that we host. Many
members travel to USATF meets in the southeast as well as to the USATF indoor and
outdoor national masters championships.
