22nd annual MUSIC CITY TRACK CARNIVAL | May 31-June 1, 2024

The 22nd annual Music City Track Carnival will take place Friday-Saturday May 31-June 1, 2024 in Nashville, TN

What was formerly known as the Music City Distance Carnival for 18 years expanded in 2021 to offer pro sprints, jumps and throws, and joined with the PUMA American Track League. MCTC is three meets all rolled into one: a youth and open meet for all-comers, an elite level high school meet, and a professional meet stacked with Olympians. There is literally a race for everyone!

For the third year, the pro portion of the meet is part of the World Athletics Continental Silver Tour, and has over $75,000 in prize money. Several Olympians and World Championship finalists are already committed to competing. The meet will be streamed live on both days via Youtube (link coming soon) with a live TV Peacock window (time TBD).

REGISTRATION: Registration will open March 13, 2024.
