World Masters Games
20km Walk

The 20km Road Walk is one of a handful of out of stadia athletics events held at the World Masters Games.

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 event is not always held and when it has been, it appears that prior to 2009 it was only for men.

National codes indicate a competitor's given country at time of competition but at the World Masters Games this often does not indicate a competitor's real country.

Records are not tracked and the event is not generally eligible for records due to the general lack of compliance to IAAF/WMA standards.
