The USA Track & Field 50km
National Championships will be held Sunday, January 23
from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sheriff Training Academy,
15991 Armstrong Avenue, on the former Tustin marine
base. USA Olympians and National Team members will be
competing in the event as they prepare for the 2011
World Track & Field Championships in South Korea and
2012 Olympic Games in London. The race will bring out
the very best elite athletes in the country.
In addition, these elite athletes will be participating in USA Track & Field’s “Win With Integrity Program” in which Olympians go to local middle schools to speak to students about making healthy choices and live lives of integrity. The program is followed by an autograph and photo session.
