Official 2008 Huntsville Track Club Race Schedule

Please remember that it takes many individuals to put on our races.  If you have never volunteered at one of our races, or would like to again, please contact a race director.  It keeps our races viable and you will be surprised how much enjoyment you will receive, in addition to giving something back to the club.  Click here to fill out a volunteer form.  Thanks.

Headphone wearers take note!  The USATF had accepted a new rule governing the use of electronic devices in races.  This rule is aimed at headphones, MP3 players, etc.  The reason for the ruling is the danger the devices pose to the person using them as well as the competitors around them.  Running any HTC event with headphones, MP3 players, etc subjects the user to disqualification (no listing in results, not eligible for awards, no refund of entry fees, prevention for participation in other club events).  Please click here for more info on this subject.
