Frank Shorter Track Classic
The Frank Shorter Track Classic is a track meet taking place on May 3, 2026 at Niwot High School in Longmont, Colorado. The meet honors an American distance athlete and focuses on middle-distance and distance track events.
The program follows a format similar to BMC (British Milers Club) meets and is intended for middle-distance and distance runners. The scheduled events for this meet are the 800 m, 1 Mile and 5,000 m.
Distances include:
- 800 m
- 1 Mile
- 5,000 m
Competition is organized into age groups and event combinations, including categories for 12 years and under, 13 to 19 years, and 20 years and older. Multiple-event entries are offered within those groups.
There are no overall age restrictions or time standards to enter, except for the 5,000 m which has an entry restriction. Athletes are placed in heats with others who have recorded similar times, and heats run from slowest to fastest. Final event timetables depend on the number of registrations, and final race information will be distributed in advance of the meet. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
