The Morris County Track Club is an AAU & USATF-registered competitive club member in the New Jersey Association. The Morris County Track Club is an unincorporated association formed for youth athletes who want to compete in track meets sanctioned by national organizations like the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union), USATF (United States Track & Field, the governing body for track and field, long-distance running and race walking in the United States).
As an AAU affiliated organization, the Morris County Track Club is recognized as tax exempt (501c3) under the Amateur Athletic Union of the U.S. Inc.'s group determination ruling through the time period ending August 31, 2012.
The New Jersey Association sanctions the Preliminary Meets that enable runners to qualify to compete in the Junior Olympics. There is a great deal of paperwork involved in competing with the AAU & USATF and we are handling/coordinating everything so that you and your athlete can focus on the events.
We are based in Parsippany New Jersey and are a AAU & USATF-registered competitive club member in the New Jersey Association. USATF's largest youth program is the Junior Olympics, where nearly 70,000 youth athletes compete each year in the Track & Field and Cross Country championships.
