What's in It for Me? If you become a member of USATF-Florida,
your benefits include:
Insurance:
The insurance program consists of two parts:
1.) USATF provides liability insurance to events, which is needed to satisfy
permits for the use of venues. We encourage all of our individual members and club members
to protect themselves, by asking their local race directors to sanction their events.
2.) Individual members receive accident insurance, which covers you against any
accidental injury that you may sustain while participating in, and traveling directly to
and from, USATF sanctioned events. When an event is sanctioned, individual member's
insurance is automatically activated.
Publications:
Signing on as
a member of USATF/Florida entitles you to free subscriptions for two
separate publications. You will receive The Record, the official
publication for USATF, and The Florida Review, which is the official
newsletter for the Florida Association of USATF. These publications
contain valuable information on USATF-Sanctioned races and events
throughout the nation, and in your home state of Florida.
Rules and Regulations: Rule making and rule
enforcement are often overlooked as a benefit for every runner. USATF
rules, regulations, and standards help create fair and safe competitions.
Standards set for medical services insure you a safe run or walk.
Course Measurement
and Record Keeping: Courses need to be accurate to insure you that your next
personal record is truly better than your last. USATF certified courses, set timing
standards, and maintained running records insures consistency, accuracy, and legitimacy.
Representation in
USATF Affairs: All USATF members are strongly encouraged to become involved in the
organization’s future. All members have an equal opportunity to voice their opinions,
and become active in the Association policy making by exercising their right to vote.
