Race walking is an Olympic athletics (track and field) event
with distances of 20 kilometers for both men and women and 50 kilometers for
men only. Race walking first appeared in the modern Olympics in 1904 as a
half-mile walk in the 'all-rounder,' the precursor to the 10-eventdecathlon. In
1908, stand-alone 1,500m and 3,000m race walks were added, and excluding 1924
there has been at least one race walk (for men) in every Olympics since. The
women's race walk became an Olympic event only in 1992, following years of
active lobbying by female internationals. A World Cup in race walking is held
biennially, and race walk events appear in the IAAF Athletics World
Championships, the Commonwealth Games and the Pan American Games, among others.
