2025 Program Update

Granite State Track & Field is a program of NHRPA and sponsored by many businesses around the state. In 2025, there will be one spectacular State Meet held on Saturday, June 14th at Winnisquam High School, Tilton, NH. The fee per athlete this year is $8.00. This will help us offset some of the costs needed to run the program. Your town will be invoiced after the conclusion of the State Meet.

This informational packet includes specific information about the program, and an explanation of the on-line registration procedures. You must register your team with Direct Athletics following the registration directions included in this packet. Registration deadline is 6/9– changes can be made until 6/11.

The State Meet will begin with a parade of athletes at 9:30 am. There is no limit to how many entries per event each community may have at the State Meet.

Athlete Participation:

Athletes may compete in one (1) field event and two (2) running events and the relay; or two (2) field events and one (1) running event and the relay for a total of four events

11 & 12, 13 & 14 year old’s will do the Running Long Jump instead of Standing Long Jump

Athletes must compete in their age group. Relays that have athletes competing up will be exhibition.

The mission of the Granite State Track and Field Program is to provide a quality recreation program where children have fun and are introduced to physical fitness through basic track and field events such as running, jumping, and throwing. Prizes are awarded to the top 8 competitors and overall champion in each event.

Understanding the program and how to register your athletes is important! Key dates are:

                May 12: Have your team built in Directathletics.com

                June 9: Have your athletes entered into all their events in Directathletics.com

                June 14: Attend the State Meet, have fun, win shirts and ribbons

We encourage you to include a direct link to the GSTF Individual Registration Form from your town’s recreation registration platform, so that registrants are directed to it when they register for your program.

We look forward to another great season!

Sincerely,

Donna Kuethe and Paul Coats – Co-Chairs of GST&F
