Per action taken at the September, 2010 USATF Niagara Association Annual Meeting, the Niagara Track & Field Hall of Fame has become a separate New York State Not-For-Profit corporation. The USATF Niagara Association will be working cooperatively to ensure the success of the Hall of Fame and to coordinate activities in order to avoid conflicts between the programs of each organization. The Niagara Track & Field Hall of Fame, its program and Corporation have the full support of the Niagara Association of USA Track & Field.
A new website for the Niagara Track & Field Hall of Fame will come online later this year or early next year. As soon as the new website is available, a link will be posted here. Please check back here regularly to see when the site goes live.
