USA Track & Field Announces Historic 2025 USATF Para National Championships

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – USA Track & Field today announced the 2025 USATF Para National Championships, which will take place at the renowned Hayward Field at the University of Oregon from July 31-August 2, 2025. The event will be the first time in U.S. Para track and field history that the meet will be combined with the USATF Outdoor Championships after the Paralympic track and field program transitioned to USATF in January.

National championships will be the first major Para track and field event that USATF hosts as the official national governing body for the sport. The three-day competition will also serve as the team selection event for the 2025 Para Athletics World Championships, set for Delhi, India, in September. 

“This meet will be momentous for the sport because we don’t often get the opportunity to showcase able-bodied and Para sport side by side,” Sherrice Fox, Director, Paralympics Track & Field, said. “It will not only determine which of our athletes we take with us to worlds, but also will be the first time that fans will get to see Para sport contested at USATF Outdoor Championships. We are so excited to set the cornerstone for what will hopefully be many more combined meets in the future.”

The spectator-friendly competition will feature many of the nation’s top Para track and field athletes fresh from earning medals at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and an event schedule will be released ahead of the competition. 

“We are thrilled to host the USATF Para National Championships concurrently with the USATF Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field for the first time,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel. “This historic event underscores USATF’s commitment to providing equal opportunities for all elite track and field athletes. With the Championships just a few months away, we’re excited to showcase the incredible talent of both Para and able-bodied athletes in one of the most extraordinary facilities in the world.”

Tickets to the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships also serve as tickets to the USATF Para National Championships. Information about ticket sales will be announced in the coming days. 

With a capacity of 12,650, the iconic Hayward Field has played host to many groundbreaking moments in U.S. track and field history, including the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field.
