The Men's 50K Racewalk is an Olympic event.

2008 Olympic Trials

Held on February 9, 2008, in Crandon Park in Miami, Florida.

The race featured a prize purse of $55,000, with the top eight finishers guaranteed prize money. The local organizing committee was led by event director Robin Beamon from the Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation Department. ING Miami Marathon race director Robert Pozo served as the technical director of the race.

Phillip Dunn and Matt Boyles, who was competing in only the second 50 km race walk of his career, had ample opportunity to get to know each other during the majority of the race. They led a group that included veteran Ray Sharp, 48, and newcomer Yariv Pomeranz after the first three laps of the 25-lap, 2-kilometer course. The race, which began at 7:15 a.m., was staged under partly sunny skies with 62% humidity, light winds and temperatures that ranged from 72 degrees at the beginning of the race, to 80 degrees at the end when the heat index hit 82.[1]
