The USA Track & Field Masters Outdoor Nationals will be held at Milton Frank Stadium in Huntsville, Alabama, from July 17-20, 2025 as the football stadium hosts a national track and field event for the first time.
“As a city that is known for running, it is exciting to bring this prestigious event to Huntsville,” said Mark Russell, executive director of the Huntsville Sports Commission. “Now we are able to build upon the culture with major track & field meets and for our first to be a national championship is a very special opportunity.”
USA Masters Track & Field offers local, regional and national competition opportunities for athletes 25 years of age and older along with international competition opportunities for athletes 35 years of age and older.
“The four-day event will see a variety of track and field events contested each day, with a number of different age groups battling for top honors in the country in an effort to improve their world rankings,” said Robert Thomas, chairman of the USA Track & Field masters committee.
The venue has undergone significant renovations over the last two years, starting with resurfacing the track last year and the current creation of a throws area capable of hosting major events. Milton Frank Stadium was previously used for Alabama A&M football games and is currently used by Huntsville City Schools.
“This has been a whirlwind to bring this event to Huntsville and I’m proud of how our sports tourism team came together so fast to make this event a reality,” said Joel Lamp, sports development manager for the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “This marks the second straight year that we will host a major national championship, furthering our efforts in making Huntsville a prime sports destination.”
