The Hayward Classic is one of the top masters track and field meets in the country, now open to athletes age 25 and over. This is a rare opportunity to compete at the newly remodeled Hayward Field, site of the 1972, 1976, 1980, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020 Olympic Trials.

 

Due to Hayward Field construction and Covid, the Hayward Classic did not take place in 2019, 2020, or 2021.
