  • By car from Boston and Route 93:
    1. Take the Callahan tunnel toward Logan Airport (Rt 1A) — you do NOT pay a toll. Stay to the right lane in the tunnel.
    2. Exit the tunnel in the right lane and take an immediate right at the “Local Exit.”
      (You must take the LOCAL exit off the tunnel or you will be at the airport and driving in circles.)
    3. At Santarpio’s Pizza, go straight onto Porter Street (It’s actually a left and very quick right).
    4. Go over the bridge and take the first left at the lights. The park will be on your right.

Aid Station Protocol

Each athlete will be able to place his personal aid bottles and containers at the personal aid station. The athlete is responsible for marking his bottles and containers with his name and bib number using an indelible marker. Each athlete in the race may have a support person responsible for monitoring and providing that athlete’s food and liquid to him during the race. This individual must wear that athlete’s “Athlete Support” credential, if such is provided.

If there is no “Athlete Support” person to assist an athlete, that athlete can arrange for another athlete’s handler to cover both. If no one agrees to help, the event should have a race volunteer assigned to help the athlete.

Personal Aid may only be provided at the personal aid station. Receiving aid outside the designated zone may be grounds for disqualification. The referee will designate the zone. The end-of-zone limit should be easily identified. It should not extend more than 25 meters before or after the personal aid station tables. The referee will brief the “Athlete Support” individuals as to where they’re allowed to pass out fluids/food/etc.

Credentialed “Athlete Support” individuals may go outside the End-of-Zone limits to retrieve a liquid or food container only after the bottle or container has hit the ground. In a similar fashion, “Athlete Support” for the athlete is responsible for the removal of all trash generated.

The event directors are responsible for ensuring that there is adequate generic water for mixing dry powders and having ice on hand for use by the Athlete Support personnel.

In addition to the personal aid station there will be a generic water station and a sponge station (two generic water stations are permitted on a 2k, or longer, course and should be provided on warm days). The first generic aid station will be approximately 50 meters past the personal aid station. The second generic water station will be approximately halfway around the course from the personal aid station. The sponge station should follow the second generic water station by approximately 50m.

The event directors will provide the staff for theses locations. The referee shall be responsible for briefing these individuals with regard to passing out the water, retrieving sponges and disposing of waste cups, and the end-of-zone limits. These end-of-zone limits should be similar to the Personal aid station – 25 meters before and after the station’s tables.

Can-Am Dual Meet Summary

The competition is a scoring match between the USA and Canada in the event of Race Walking, coordinated between USA Track & Field (USATF) and Athletics Canada (AC).

First held in 1989, this is the 23rd annual match. The location alternates between USA and Canadian sites; this will be the first time it is held in New England. The match is also the longest continuously conducted international dual match in any track and field discipline for both countries.

It will be the first international country-based athletics/T&F competition to be held in Massachusetts since the World Cross Country Championships was held in Franklin Park in 1992.

Race walking is an Olympic event within athletics / track and field. It is also part of the International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) World Championships on the Open, Junior, and Youth levels (the World Youth Track & Field Championship is being held this week in France). There are also stand-alone race walk competitions including a national team based World Cup and, in this hemisphere, a Pan American Cup.

Walk competitions and championships may be held on either road or track courses. Because of the element of technical judging, road courses are on restricted in length to between 1 kilometer (single loop) to 2 kilometers (if out-and-back on the same roadway, 1km each direction). The circuit in East Boston Park on the recreation path around the fields and stadium is just a bit longer than 1 kilometer and almost dead flat. The course will be measured by an internationally recognized measurer and eligible for national records.

Juniors are at least age 14 on the day of competition, and do not turn 20 during the calendar year. The USA team is selected based on their finish at the USA Track & Field Championship meet recently held in Eugene Oregon June 23-26. Canada’s team was picked on a combination of their national meet and committee selection. Both teams are fully recognized national teams, receiving national team uniforms for competition. Each team has one or two adult team coaches selected to coordinate athlete activities from arrival to departure.

In this particular competition, each country may enter 4 to 6 team members, with the top 3 finishers from each country figuring in the scoring. Additional non-scorers may compete in the meet at their own travel expense, and the meets generally allow additional “open” competitors to give the races a better competitive feel.

Women race 5 kilometers / 5 laps; men will cover 10 kilometers / 10 laps. We expect the totals in each race to be about 20 walkers. There will also be a novice/open/youth race of 3 kilometers following the international races to give local race walkers a chance to compete, and youth a chance to be part of a big event. That should have 20-30 participants. We are inviting any past “Team USA” members to attend, support, and even compete in the day’s activities. That includes 2 past Olympians living in the region (MA and NH), which will help present an “elite feel” to the day.

Travel and partial lodging cost is paid by the respective federations (USATF and AC). The local organizers – in this case, USA Track & Field – New England based in Brighton, and New England Walkers Club – cover all event management/operation costs We will provide certified officials to judge, count laps, and time the competitors.

There will be 16 team athletes and 4 staff coming in to Boston and staying 2 nights (some may stay 3). There will be some additional competitors already committee to coming in from Maine and New York (those who did not make the US team), with more expected. Our picking up the hosting of the event a bit late in the process may keep potential participants from outside New England down a bit.

This match may be the only national team some young athletes ever make, but a number of competitors from both countries have competed in as high a level as the World Championships and Olympic Games; the only male race walker on the 2008 US Olympic Team was a multi-time competitor in the match in the 1990’s.

While this is no a large-impact competition this year, and race walking is not a high profile event in the sport (though it is one that does draw attention), it is a recognized international competition that the city and state will be able to put on their host resume. East Boston Park was a surprise hidden gem in our search for a site, as other venues with higher visibility or familiarity first came to mind but in comparison didn’t have some of the requisite pieces.

We expect the event could return every few years if all enjoy a successful competitive experience this year, and the park could potentially be a site for a future US national race or, with some work, an international event such as the Pan American Race Walk Cup. We are looking forward to staging a quality event.

Friday, Jul 8, 2011 – The USA Track & Field New England association received approval for use of Sartori Stadium in East Boston as the site of Can-Am Dual meet. The site is located in East Boston Park (adjacent to the stadium). The meet, scheduled for Sunday, August 14, 2011, will feature junior race walkers from Canada and the US. We expect 40 to 60 race walkers in three related events.

Although still in the planning stages, the proposed 5K course for junior women and 10K course for will start and finish on the 1km bicycle path. The walkers do not want to use the track inside the stadium. The race walks will finish on the bicycle path at shared finish line.

The numbered km balloons indicate the number of kilometers left before crossing the finish line. Competitors travel in a counter-clockwise direction on the bicycle loop.

Stay tuned for a updates.
