NZ National Masters
1500m Walk

The 1500m Track Walk was added to the standard programme from 2022 to give walkers a third option, rather than a day with no events as was the case previously.

The event has never appeared at the Olympics, where the 3000m and 3500m made appearances in 1920 and 1908. A 10000m walk was held sporadically until 1924. After that all walking events were held out of stadia, on road.

The standard programme places the event on Saturday afternoon.

As a Wellington-specific event distance, only Centre records were maintained until the event was added to the NZMA Champs in 2022; as such, national records are only from 2022 onwards.

Performances by guest athletes from outside New Zealand are marked [IE].
