How do I transfer my membership to another Association?

Adult USATF Members, ages 19 years and older, can request to transfer from their assigned Association of Residence to another Association. Transferring to a new Association provides a member with the benefits of that new association only. The member forfeits the benefits of their Association of Residence which includes, but is not limited to, scoring in the Association’s championships, representing a club in that Association, and voting in that Association’s meetings. Additionally, USATF Rule 4.2 indicates that in certain USA/USATF national championships, a member may not be eligible to score points for a club if they do not reside within the same Metropolitan Standard Area as the club’s location.
