MORE INFORMATION

Are you interested in finding out more about Race Walking?
Some Information is available on the Frequently Asked Questions page
For something more extensive, please read on.... Race Walking is a healthy sport, suitable for all ages and initial levels of fitness. It has all the cardiovascular benefits of running or jogging with very few of the risks of joint and muscle injury. There are a few specifically race walking clubs but most walkers belong to general athletic clubs. Don't be alarmed by the thought of athleticism; it's not that fierce!

An Introductory Pack is available, free of charge, containing

some notes about the history of race walking
a pamphlet on how to get started
a copy of Race Walking Record
the latest fixture list of walking events with local contacts
contacts for your nearest club
other items of useful information

If you would like a rough-and-ready idea of the clubs near you, look up your Postcode Area.

[The Introductory Pack is largely about the sport within the R.W.A. Area (England, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands) but also contains some general information that may be of interest.]

The R.W.A. Handbook, containing the Rules, etc., can be ordered via the Handbook Page.

For your free Introductory Pack write, telephone, fax or E-mail your postal address and/or E-mail address to:

You can become involved in race walking without competing - or even walking; we welcome judges, officials, coaches and assistants as well.
Whatever your level of ability, expertise or enthusiasm, there is a place for you in race walking.

There is a race walking discussion group, open to all, at: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/racewalk/

For information on a specific topic, search the R.W.A. Web Site



If there is some information that you cannot find on this web site or in the introductory pack, please use the Enquiry Form and the R.W.A. will try to help.
