If you're age 19 to 29, you're considered an open athlete. Whether your thing is track-and-field, long-distance running and/or race walking, we encourage you to join and train with JATC.

At USATF-sanctioned events, the open age group is the largest with a 10-year span. (Youth athletes compete in 1- or 2-year age divisions depending on the organization. Masters athletes compete in 5-year age divisions.) If you compete in road races, finishers typically are grouped and recognized using 5-year age divisions.

Things you need to know:

• Schedule of upcoming meets and road races: See Events, Results, Pics > 2007
• Past results and photos: See Meets, Results, Pics
• USATF membership: To compete at USATF-sanctioned events, you’ll need a USATF membership card ($29.95 per year). JATC's club number is 0122. Multi-year memberships are available.
• Joining JATC is easy.

So if you're in college, come run. If you've already graduated from college - or chose not to attend college - come run. If you're a young parent, come run. If you're just a working stiff, come run. There's a spot for everyone.
