Host The Hartford Nationals
Bid Application and Information
Your City Can Host the Next The Hartford Nationals!
Move United is focused on acquiring a strong host city and sport partner to deliver an outstanding event for athletes, coaches, family members, supporters, and the general public. We are looking to develop a partnership with an organization with expertise in sport event production that is well rooted in the community, has the ability and commitment to solicit local financial support crucial to the event’s success, has the ability to develop and manage a local organizing committee, has sophisticated, accessible venues and hotel properties, is attractive as a vacation destination, and is an affordable city for families attending the week long national championship event.
We are seeking to expand on the success and history of Junior Nationals, and bring fresh ideas and concepts to the competition, particularly regarding athlete identification and recruitment while highlighting a local community.
Beginning in 2023, Move United’s Junior Nationals will transition to The Hartford Nationals encompassing events for both youth and adults. The Hartford Nationals have moved to a 2-year cycle for the host city and LOC.
Bids for 2025-2026 and 2027-2028 will be accepted until September 15, 2023. If Move United receives a strong bid prior to the deadline, we reserve the right to move forward awarding the bid at an earlier date.
