After a two year hiatus forced by the Covid 19 pandemic, the International Youth Track and Field Championships roared back to life in 2022 as a global event for tomorrow's champions. In 2023 we will again welcome the world to the most exciting and competitive youth track and field championship on earth. But the IYC is more than a track meet in a nice stadium, it’s a unique experience in one of the greatest cities in the world, with unmatched sights and things to do. It is the goal of the International Youth Track Championship (IYC) to enhance the ongoing intellectual, educational and physical development of youth through the preparation for and participation in an elite competition. The International Youth Track Championship is not in the sports business, it is the education, juvenile delinquency prevention, and positive social interaction business. 

ATTRACTIONS

As would be expected in the capital city of the United States of America, the Washington, D.C. area offers unmatched access to incredible museums, monuments, and one-of-a-kind events. The U.S. Capital, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Viet Nam Memorial, the Smithsonian Institute, the United States Holocaust Museum, and the incredible National Museum of African American History and Culture, are just a few of the must see attractions in Washington, D.C. Foreign teams report being welcomed by their national embassy, while domestic teams have been welcomed by their congressmen and senators. Many athletes and their families have taken the opportunity to visit Howard University, Georgetown University and the many other colleges in the area. Six Flags America - Upper Marlboro amusement park is only a few minutes from the track. Historic Fort McHenry, birthplace of the Star Spangled Banner, and the Great Blacks in Wax Museum, can be found in nearly Baltimore. And if your schedule allows, hop on a fast Amtrak Metroliner train from historic Union Station for a day trip to Philadelphia or New York City. Don't worry about traffic, the D.C. Metro subway system puts you steps away from everything. The International Youth Track and Field Championship is more than a stadium and track meet, it is a unique experience for all athletes and their families.
