Race Walking has been a discipline within Athletics (Track & Field, Long Distance Running & Race Walking) for more than 100 years. As one of three “separate” disciplines, the race walk may be included in track and field competitions and is also held as long-distance events. Too often the event’s uniqueness has kept officiating to a small number of specialists. People think it is difficult to judge. It is not. This page links to the resources necessary to learn how to be a race walk judge and official. Keep in mind throughout these explanations, that race walking is not running, and it is not normal walking; it is a prescribed technique with different, yet similar and varying aspects of both.

Race walking has given me a way to stay fit for a lifetime. My dad died of a heart attack at 46 and I don’t want to go down that path. I want to walk my daughter down the aisle when she gets married. I won’t let her date until she’s at least 30, so that could be a while.
Race walking has given me the ability to stay an athlete even as I age and injuries have sidelined me from other sports. It’s allowed me to race past the runners going uphill with a smile on my face!!
After college, I never thought I would classify myself as an athlete again, but then I discovered race walking.
Race walking keeps me grounded. It's the only meds I need to keep my stress controlled.
