We thought that this list of events, 25 in fact, would be a nice list for track fans to have, from NBC Sports, to show how they are supporting the sport of athletics. This was a nice piece I found in the Track & Field Writers of America May 2017 newsletter.

Included in the o erings are the highest-pro le, elite events of USA Track & Field (USATF). e direct-to-consumer pass, powered by Playmaker Media, will o er fans unprecedented coverage — much of which cannot be seen on any linear televi- sion platform in the United States — live and on-demand, online, on mobile, tablets and connected TV devices.
NBC Sports Gold’s “Track and Field Pass,” available today for $69.99, includes uninterrupted access to the Boston mara- thon, and the top USATF outdoor events, including USA vs. e World at Penn Relays and Olympic Rematches at Drake Relays, the Nike Prefontaine Classic, and the USATF Outdoor Championships.

“From sprints to marathons, high jumps to hammer throws, TRACK AND FIELD fans are among the most passionate in sports, and we’re excited to o er a fantastic collection of the most compelling events in the sport on NBC Sports Gold,” said Portia Archer, Vice President, Direct-to-Consumer Services, NBC Sports Group.
“Having the streaming services provided by NBC Sports Gold expands the broad reach of Team USATF athletes and our sport even further,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel, who last year entered into an eight-year media partnership with NBC. “We are pleased that fans can view the best that the sport has to o er on the devices that are most convenient to them.”
