Does it ever get updated, and if so, when?
I’m looking around for a late season Olympic distance race, and I can’t find anything on USAT’s online calendar. I go to active.com and find one in Bend, OR, scheduled for September 11. Turns out it’s the USAT’s Pacific Northwest Regional Championship.
Any reason it isn’t up on the calendar yet?
Cause trifind in general does it better.
trifind is the site I usually use, but they haven’t put a lot of this year’s events up yet- especially the races later in the season. I figured I’d check out USAT’s site, thinking they’d have a fairly complete listing of their sanctioned races, but I guess not.
I think it’s pretty pathetic on the part of the USAT, frankly.
I’m finding most things to do with USAT are pretty pathetic.
USAT does not put the race on the 2005 calendar until after the race sanctions. That is why a number of races are not listed. (You will notice the Florida Great Escape is listed as I send in the sanction application last November) Most RD’s send in the sanction application 2-3 months before the race. Go to the 2004 calendar and you will find all the races that sactioned in 2004 - then go to the race website listed to see the 2005 date. Z

Well, that’s a grand way to have to search for a race. Makes perfect sense to me.
Look, I can see what you’re saying, but they don’t even have their own regional championship listed on the calendar, even thought it’s listed on the page about regional championships. They need a better system, or they might as well not even post a calendar.
Good Point - Please send this idea to USAT! Send it to one of the board members or to the staff. Z
