The Ragnarök Athletic Club is the only USATF sanctioned track and field club in Grand Forks. It provides athletes in the Northern Red River Valley with a chance to train, improve, and be introduced to the events of track and field. There are a series of meets throughout the area available to those who decide to compete. All event areas will be offered in some capacity, including the decathlon/heptathlon, sprints, hurdles, jumps, pole vault, and relays.

Costs:
Athletes looking to join the Ragnarök Athletic Club must first become a member with USA Track and Field (USATF). If you were previously a member, you must renew each year. Individuals under 18 years old are charged $25 per calendar year. For adults, the cost is $40 per calendar year.
Join/renew USATF and find more information by clicking HERE.
**FYI: Unlike high school meets, athletes must pay their own entry fees at meets. These will be paid by the club and then the athletes must reimburse the club. They are also responsible for transportation to/from meets and any lodging. **
**For sprint/hurdle/jump/vault/multi-event training, there will be limited opportunities to train this summer due to Cushman Field being unavailable for all of June and July. It's possible that a few pop-up or standalone training sessions will occur, but that is all dependent on athlete/coach/facility availability.
** If you plan to place your focus on throwing or distance running, see the info above for the summer throwing/running programs of RR/GFC. If you have no intention of competing in the summer meets, but would still like to train with the distance/throwing programs, then you only need to pay their coaching/training fee. Contact Jeff Bakke (jbakke260@mygfschools.org) with any questions.
