This past January, Athletics Canada announced the creation of the 2022 National Track and Field Tour which would kick off with an eleven meet track and field series, all in Canada leading to the World Athletics Championships starting on July 15thin Eugene, Oregon.
This creates a wide opportunity for Canadian athletes to compete on home soil, in their own backyard. In the past, many Canadian athletes sought high level competition south of the border.
Now the dreams of the athletes can be realized with a “WE THE NORTH” attitude. The Vancouver Sun Hary Jerome Track Classic will play a major role in the NTF TOUR on June 14th.
