2017 Men's and Women's 50km USATF National Race Walk Championships 1/28/2017 "Santee, CA" Page 5 of 5
So many dedicated race walkers are giving their all for the finish
There are still over a dozen remaining athletes, men and women, on the 50k course. They all have stories for how they got to Santee and what they hoped to accomplish at the 2017 national championships for the USATF 50k race walk. Let's celebrate their joys and travails. We are privileged to have participated vicariously as two 14 race walkers took home some prize money and many others had PBs, age-group records, and astonishing performances. What a delightful day this was.
