Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation’s Crandon Park Chosen as the Host Site for the USA Men’s 50 Kilometer Race Walk Olympic Trials |
|||
|
The closed course was chosen by the United States Olympic Committee and the USA Track and Field Committee for its beauty, amenities, safety and speed. With zero elevation, this course was developed to qualify as many USA athletes as possible by making the course fast for athletes to finish in the Olympic time standard. The race begins at 7:25 a.m. and will run until approximately 2 p.m. The course entrance is at the South Beach entrance to Crandon Park. There will be bleachers at the entrance to the race area and spectators are encouraged to attend. However, gates at the Crandon Park South Beach entrance will close by 6:55 a.m. sharp in order to clear the race track, and will remain closed during the duration of the race. The race area will also be closed to bikers, runners, joggers, and walkers during the time of the race, however the beach will remain open to patrons. Media interested in covering the race must contact Robin Beamon at 786-554-0989 for credentials. One of the more than 250 parks within the nationally accredited Miami-Dade Parks system, Crandon Park is located at 4000 Crandon Boulevard in Key Biscayne, FL. Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation, the 3rd largest parks system in the United States, creates outstanding natural, recreational, and cultural experiences to enrich you and to enhance our community for this and future generations.
