World Masters 20km Road Walk

The 20km Road Walk is one of a handful of out of stadia athletics events.

A 10000m track walk was held sporadically at the Olympics until 1924. After that it became a road race but the distance was changed to 20km and 50km after 1952. The 10km road walk returned briefly for the 1992 and 1996 Olympics as events for women, before giving way to the 20km distance.

The event was introduced at the World Masters Champs in 1977 after an initial distance of 25km was used in 1975. However, it has only been fully established for women from 2007. Prior to that, it was an event put on just for men with the women given the 10km Road Walk instead

There is also a 20km walk teams component for this race.

National codes indicate a competitor's registered country at time of competition.
