\n HUNT VALLEY, Md., January 25, 2024 (Newswire.com)\n -\n <\/strong>The recent installation of a custom-built, 200-meter portable banked running track from Beynon Sports at the Indiana State Fairgrounds' new Indiana Farm Bureau Fall Creek Pavilion represents the latest chapter in the location\u2019s rich history. Constructed in 1923 as the Indiana State Fair\u2019s Swine Barn, the pavilion is now poised to become a magnet for elite track and field competition, having already been awarded the 2025 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships.<\/p>\n

Beynon\u2019s innovative system, which uses its BSS 4000 track surface with Hobart Texture, is part of an extensive $50 million renovation that began over two years ago. The project encompassed the demolition of the old swine barn and its restoration as a 196,000-sq.-ft. best-in-class livestock facility, which was opened in time for the 166th Indiana State Fair in July 2023.<\/p>\n

A NEW HOME FOR ELITE TRACK & FIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n

Six months later, the pavilion is home to a portable banked track from Beynon that will be installed annually to host local, regional, national, and international events. The first of those events includes the 2024 editions of the below meets, with the track and field schedule running until the spring and ending with the Hoosier State Relays on March 23.<\/p>\n
