Limited General Public Ticket Sales Begin Thursday At 10 a.m. For The Drake Relays Presented by Xtream Powered By Mediacom

All orders must be placed via DrakeTix.com

DES MOINES, Iowa - The Drake Relays presented by Xtream powered by Mediacom will begin limited general public ticket sales at DrakeTix.com starting at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 15. 

Phone and in-person orders will not be accepted. 

Strict COVID-19 protocols including socially distanced seating and mask mandate, will be enforced during the 111th edition of America's Athletic Classic, to be held April 22-24, 2021, at Drake Stadium.
 
"We're pleased a limited number of tickets have been made available for purchase ahead of this historic event," said Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays. "Our staff has worked diligently to provide a safe atmosphere for our athletes and spectators alike, and I know our faithful fans are excited to watch athletes from across Iowa and around the world compete on the Blue Oval."

The 2021 Drake Relays will feature an elite division, university division, college division, high school division, and a 4x100 meter relay event for middle schools. Notably, the World Athletics Continental Tour has designated the Drake Relays a Silver Level event, one of only two meets in the United States to earn such status. That means the Drake Relays are a critical stop for athletes beginning their quest to qualify for the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. 

The 2021 Drake Relays is set to stage 12 'Journey to Gold' events as part of the Relays World Athletics Silver Level Continental Tour that will feature some of the world's best inside Drake Stadium. Blake Boldon, the Franklin P. Johnson Director of the Drake Relays, revealed the first of the competitors in those events with the men's shot put, women's pole vault, women's 100-meter hurdles and men's 400-meter hurdles fields.
