The Royal Canadian Legion Track and Field program is a nationally sanctioned program culminating in a national track & field camp and a national championship for Canadian youth between the ages of 13 and 17. The Royal Canadian Legion Track and Field program is divided into two sections - a three-day meet and an educational and technical clinic. In 2007, a coaching academy was also included in the program.
