Wellington Masters
1500m Walk

The 1500m track walk is not actually a championship event but is usually put on as part of the Centre Champs to provide an additional event for walkers. Due to the scheduling demands of the Centre Champs, it has not been held since 2017.

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.

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

Wellington Records as at 7 May 2023.
