WALKER
RESOURCES

USE Earned Runs Bibs to
design A personalized Race Walk,
walking challenge,

OR
WALK AN ORGANIZED EVENT

Investigating races for walkers has shown that while some events advertise as competitions for walkers, most COMBINE registration with that of runners, use the same courses for walkers over which runners travel, and do not separately award prizes or places to walkers. If awards are provided, usually they are given only for overall first through third place finishers rather than by age group or gender. 

There are over 200 USATF races listed for walkers as of April 2016. In order to determine the exact circumstances for registration, racing and awards,
each competition site must be searched.
The race walks will be categorized (below) as is possible in the order by month they are researched
in April 2016 onward. This will take some time!

If you notice that the DATE for a race has passed, it will REMAIN on the list,
because races in which walkers register separately are NOT COMMON,
and those in which walkers receive separate 1st through 3rd place awards by age group and gender are RARE.
​
Since races often are run ANNUALLY, their place on the list by date might help you plan for future races; look for the same race to be run near that date the following year.
The organizations/clubs won't be vetted by EarnedRuns; you are welcome to investigate and report back if you find information other walkers should know (click on contact link below).

HELP FROM Earned Runs:
​Sample Comment to race Organizers
asking for specific Walker information on websites

“Dear Race Organizer;
Thank you for welcoming walkers!  I very much appreciate website information that specifically addresses walker activities in the event. Details regarding registration, course, start time, timing method, results reporting, and award categories for walkers are likely to influence whether I choose to participate in your race this year and in subsequent years, and whether I encourage others to register.

​If the same or different than for runners, it is very helpful to have this information clearly stated without needing to check multiple linked pages. See you at the race!”

WINTER BEAUTY!
