Toyota On-Site Activations and Fan Experiences
Toyota Field Support Vehicle

• A fan favorite at previous Toyota-sponsored events, Toyota’s remote-controlled Tacoma will be part of the on-field experience at the 2026 Toyota USATF Outdoor & Para National Championships. During the field events, officials load each implement (including discus, hammer, and javelin) into the Tacoma after an athlete’s attempt. The vehicle then transports the implements back to the throwing area, helping keep events moving efficiently while reducing the number of personnel needed on the field. 

Reaction Lane

• Toyota’s Reaction Lane invites fans to test their reaction time through an interactive challenge inspired by elite track & field training. Participants can compare their results against Team Toyota athletes while competing for a spot on the digital leaderboard.

The Claw

• Fans can test their luck at Toyota’s larger-than-life interactive claw machine experience, housed within the Toyota Tundra’s bed, for the chance to win exciting prizes and giveaways.

Champion’s Chill

• Fans are invited to discover their Team Toyota athlete counterpart through an interactive personality quiz. Once completed, fans will receive a frozen treat with a flavor inspired by their respective Team Toyota athlete.

Fans can keep up with Team Toyota on Instagram (@TeamToyota).
