NZ National Masters
5000m Walk

The 5000m track walk is an event that has never appeared at the Olympics. Track walking as a whole has only made sporadic appearances at that level, with 3000m 3500m and 10000m distances appearing up to 1924. After that all walking events were held out of stadia, on road.

It was held at the NZ Champs in 2018 after an absence of many years. With the difficulty in establishing a course on which to hold a 10km Road Walk, this event has become the de facto replacement to programme.

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