Welcome to the website of Racewalking Auckland! Racewalking Auckland aims to promote the sport of race walking in the greater Auckland area. If you like to walk fast - at 8 minutes per km or faster, this is the place for you. From this site, you can find information about what race walking is, find contacts for the Racewalking Auckland Association, pick up the latest race walking news from Auckland and further afield.   You do not have to be an Olympic style racewalker to join the Racewalking Auckland Association; we have both freestyle walkers and racewalkers as members, covering a range of walking speeds.   There's an event on every Sunday - mainly starting from the Grandstand at the Auckland Domain at 8:30am. Other venues include Cornwall Park, and a waterfront circuit at Mangere Bridge. Occasionally there are track walks at Mt Smart Stadium or Waitakere.  Because some events are scratch events and others are run as handicaps and estimated time walks (closest to their estimate wins), both faster and slower walkers have a chance to win trophies.   The RWA also enters teams in the annual National Team Relay Racewalking Championships in Upper Hutt in May. Members participate in other national walking events - such as the Taranaki Open Walks weekend in June, and the National Long Distance Championships in Hastings in October.   Come on - Let's Go Walking - Don't Look Back.
