The Washington, D.C./Landover area offers participants and their families unmatched access to incredible museums, monuments, and sights. The U.S. Capital Building, the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Smithsonian Institute, the United States Holocaust Museum, and the incredible National Museum of African American History and Culture, are just a few of the must see attractions to enjoy. Visit Howard University, Georgetown University, the University of Maryland, or the many other colleges in the area. Six Flags America Upper Marlboro amusement park is only a few minutes from the track. Don’t worry about traffic, the D.C. Metro subway system puts you steps away from everything. And if time allows hop on a fast Amtrak Metroliner train from historic Union Station for a day trip to Baltimore, Philadelphia or even New York City. The International Youth Track and Field Championships is more than a track meet, it is a unique experience for the whole family.
