THEY FINALLY LISTENED AND THE CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE OFFICIALLY MOVING AWAY FROM CLERMONT!! WE WON BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO COMPROMISE ON THESE CONDITIONS AND NOW THE ATHLETES ARE SAFE!! STAY VIGILANT TO ENSURE THE NEW VENUE ACTUALLY MEETS THE CRITICAL STANDARDS WE DEMANDED!!
We the undersigned protest the selection of Clermont Florida as the site of the 2009 US masters track and field championships. The site is unfit for many reasons
1. No warm up area
2. No shade
3. Poor parking
4. Lack of local hotel space
5. No dormitory facilities
6. No permanent bathroom facilities
7. Difficult transportation from airport
8. Poor hot weather
9. Fire ants, mosquitos
10. Very limited spectator areas
awful choice. nowhere to park and no hotels nearby. who planned this?
