Reply to "Parking Lot Road Courses"

To me it would be very surprising if USATF had not considered at some point in time the validity of courses that are entirely withing the confines of a parking lot. The USATF 5k racewalk championships has been held in Kingsport, TN for several years on such a course. One of the advantages as I see it of using a parking lot for a short course from a race management standpoint is that it does not require road closure, only a parking lot that can be easily closed off or is not used on evenings / weekends. The USATF 5k championship course map is copied below:
