Hayward Field to Host 2025 USATF Para National Championships

The 2025 USA Track & Field Para National Championships will take place at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon from July 31 through August 2, the first time in U.S. Para track and field history that the meet will be combined with the USATF Outdoor Championships.

The Para program joined USATF last fall. The National Championships will be the first major Para track and field event that USATF hosts as the official national governing body for the sport. Tickets to the 2025 Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships also serve as tickets to the USATF Para National Championships. 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,” said Sherrice Fox, director, Paralympics Track and Field. “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 competition will feature many of the nation’s top Para track and field athletes who earned medals at the 2024 Paralympic Summer Games in Paris. Hayward Field hosted the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials last summer.

“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.”
