Olympic Trials competition schedule adjustments

USA Track & Field tonight announced adjustments to the competition schedule for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field with regard to athlete safety while competing in high temperatures.

With a triple-digit temperature forecast over the weekend, the women’s 10,000m final will now be run in one section at 10:00 a.m. Pacific on Saturday, June 26. The men’s 5,000m final will now be run at 10:00 a.m. Pacific on Sunday, June 27.

The free park and ride shuttle from the Valley River Center will begin operating at 9 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, and the gates at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon will open to spectators at 9:00 am on both mornings as well. A valid ticket for the day’s session will be required to watch the races.

Spectators will be permitted to exit the secure perimeter after the races, but they will need to receive a hand stamp as they are leaving in order to be able to return later in the day. A hand stamp and a ticket are required for re-entry later in the day.

Limited food and beverage concessions will be available for the morning races, with free potable water available in the venue as well.
