Twin Cities Race Walkers is proud to host the 2008 USA 15 km Race Walking Championships and the 2008 USA 15 km Junior Race Walking Championships.

 

Along with these national championship events, the USATF North Region 15 km Race Walking Championships, the USATF Mid-America Masters Region 15 km Race Walking Championships and the USATF/MN Association 15km Race Walking Championships will be held.

 

Open-to-All 5 km, 10 km and 15 km events will also be held for those desiring a shorter distance, or for citizens of other countries that are not eligible to compete in a USA Championship event.

 

For those interested in race walking 20 km, a 5 km extension to the 15 km is available to those athletes that can complete 20 km in under 2:00. Athletes must register for both the 15 km and the 5 km extension.

 

All of the above events start at 7:30am on August 17, 2008 on the Greenway Trail directly behind the event hotel.

 

For those interested in a shorter distance and a non-competitive atmosphere, a 3 km race walk open to everyone will be held shortly after the completion of the 15km, at approximately 9:30am. Race officials, volunteers, spectators, athletes, and everyone that enjoys race walking are encouraged to enter this fun event.
