Curt Clausen (born October 9, 1967) is an American race walker. He placed 4th 50 km event in the 1999 IAAF World Championships in Athletics, but after 2 years was later awarded the 3rd place bronze medal, after the winner was stripped of his title for a doping violation.
As a prep, Clausen competed in distance running but also set the high school national record in the mile walk of 6:18.32.[1][2] He attended Stevens Point Area Senior High School alongside Suzy Favor Hamilton, where he at times trained over 100 miles per week.[3][4] Clausen committed to Duke University where he competed on the Duke Blue Devils track and field team despite racewalking not being an NCAA-sanctioned track and field event.[5][6]
