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 is not contested at any championship level for masters, making the opportunity to compete, let alone set a record, a rare one.
As a result, it is not a record category maintained at the Centre level. NZMA only keep 50km walk records for men.
