Southern California Masters Only Events

Masters (or sub-Masters) meets are open to anyone 30 years or older unless specified (seniors meets are limited to 50 or older). These meets compete in 5 year age groups.

Also be sure to check out the open section linked above. At the bottom of that page is a listing of Masters events, including meets in different, possibly adjacent areas. There are several meets in San Diego and a few in Northern and Central California during the year. If you are up to the competition, many collegiate meets will accept your entry. All-comer meets accept/welcome all competitors including Masters entrants--you will probably run with collegians and high schoolers. Many have special divisions for the various Masters age groups or seed by your professed ability.

There is a discussion e-mail group about Masters Track and Field. You are welcome to join the discussion and get lots of e-mail from similarly interested participants. To register go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/masterstf/ Or find similar discussions and lots of additional resources at http://masterstrack.com Masters hurdler Ken Stone and middle distance runner Dave Clingan have combined to put lots of other good stuff there including a link to the National Masters News page. If you are intending to get serious about doing Masters Competition, you should subscribe to this publication. E.mail them at NatMaNews@aol.com.

$20 first event, $12/second event, $6 each additional, plus $5 USATF Region Surcharge. Add $20 after July , entries close July . No late entry
Contact Mark Cleary, 18 Charca, Rancho Santa Margarita, CA 92688, (949) 589-0242 runnermark@cox.net http://scausatf.org/events/masters/westregion/wregional.htm

There are no details posted yet, here are last year's fees: $45 for first event, 2nd event/$18, 3rd event/$15 each additional/$10 by June 25, Add $50 until July 3 and no entries after that. I have publicly been protesting for over two decades. They will continue to have these ridiculous early entry deadlines until somebody else speaks up. After posting this stupidity, offending potential competitors and getting inadequate pre-entries, the hard deadline was later adjusted to a slightly less repressive date. I guess we can call that progress. I can only hope that progress will continue.
