Race Team Qualifications

RACE TEAM APPLICANT QUALIFICATIONS

  1. Be a Chattanooga Track Club member in good standing.  Membership must remain current while active on the team.
  2. Be willing and able to represent the CTC at local, regional and/or national events.  
  3. Have qualifying race times that place the applicant within Local or Regional Class ranking or better based on the USA Track & Field Age Graded Calculator.   To find your ranking: visit the USATF website, populate the fields including age, gender, distance, time and then click “calculate”. Those with a “Regional Class” ranking (70%) or higher will be given first consideration for the Race Team.  The calculator can be found HERE

  • Preference will also be given to runners who have participated in CTC Races in the prior calendar year. 
  • Previous membership on the CTC Race Team and satisfactory execution of Team Member Commitments is a contributing factor
  • Candidates with age graded rankings below Local Class can still make the team.  Final cuts will only be made using these guidelines when applications within a gender / age group exceed available team positions.
