Atlanta Track Club Open Team
About
Atlanta Track Club's Open Team is an inclusive group of competitive athletes representing all ability levels united in our desire to reach our individual potential through continuous improvement. The Open Team welcomes post-collegiate long distance runners under the age of 40 and track and field athletes under the age of 30 who look to progress as they compete in local and regional road racing and track and field competitions. Our Open Team members share a love for athletics and demonstrate a commitment to preparation, sportsmanship, camaraderie and competition. We work hard, support our teammates and competitors and have fun. We are Atlanta Track Club!
Who Can Join
Atlanta Track Club's Open Team is for athletes of all abilities that are serious about competing locally, regionally, and sometimes nationally. We welcome men and women of all disciplines and are committed to reflecting the diversity of both Atlanta and the larger athletics community. All participants must be members of Atlanta Track Club, agree to the policies found in the team handbook, commit to volunteering with the Club, and uphold the values of the organization. Additionally, we follow the formal rules set forth by USATF regarding eligibility.
Any Atlanta Track Club member within the required age range can join. Whether the goal is to win your age group or the overall race, if you train and race hard this team is for you. Typical members include former high school and college athletes and local road warriors.

Beliefs
Atlanta Track Club strongly believes that the future of athletics is grounded in a robust competitive environment featuring local clubs and local athletes. As a result, our open team is primarily made up of Atlantans and Georgians who train and compete together. Athletes in border states with a history of Atlanta Track Club membership, Atlanta residency, or other connections are also eligible to join. Athletes that do no have a local club with a competitive open team may have the opportunity to join. All volunteer expectations are still required for athletes residing outside of Georgia. Please email the High Performance Director with any questions about eligibility.Practices and Competitions
