There’s a notable blue hue rising from Minoru’s
Clement Track.
That’s the colour of the newly-installed
rubber surface just applied at the popular facility. And the work was completed
ahead of schedule.
The track re-opened earlier this week after
being off limits for just about three weeks.
Blue is the primary colour of the track, with
grey signifying the transition zones for the 4x100m section. The previous track
colour was a burnt orange.
Clement Track honours local track and field
pioneers Dr. Doug and Diane Clement who were former Canadian Olympians. The
longtime Richmond couple started the Richmond Kajaks Track and Field Club,
primary users of the track, in 1961.
The track is popular with countless local
athletes, as well as residents who enjoy walking around it—particularly in the
evening.
The track will also get optimum use as an
activity site during the B.C. 55+ Games which Richmond is hosting in 2020.
