You can register HERE for the DISTANCE Festival, which includes the following events:

  • 10. Individual DMR (400+800+1200+1600) (results determined by sum of time of each event)

Each Festival contests standard events in the group, a few “combined events” to add fire to each Festival and rewards those whose excellence is spread across multiple distances and/or disciplines. With the offering of the combined events, these Festivals stand out from any other track & field event competition offered this year.

Each Festival has the following divisions, based on the 2019-20 school year:

  • Middle School (grade 6 - 8)
  • Freshman (grade 9 only)
  • Varsity (grade 9 - 12)

The registration fee is $15 per Festival, for as many events as you’d like to enter (within each Festival). Every registrant gets a NSAF x AthleticNET Summer Track Festival bandana. For the following additional fees, registrants can receive the following (costs include shipping):

  • Participation Medal ($10)
  • Unique Festival Tee-Shirt ($25)
  • Unique Festival Cap ($25)

All performances and submissions must occur during the respective meet windows through AthleticAPP. Entrants should check the rules/FAQs for each meet. Some rules may have changed since the Virtual Nationals.

The Festival Series was developed by the NSAF, AthleticNET and Runnerspace.com following the recent unfortunate cancellation of NSAF Outdoor Nationals.
