From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Balkan Race Walking Championships is an annual racewalking competition between athletes from member nations of Balkan Athletics. The championships features six individual races: senior men's and women's 20 kilometres race walks, men's and women's under-20 10 kilometres race walks, an under-18 boys' 10 km walk, and an under-18 girls' 5 kilometres race walk.[1] Each individual race also has a national team component with points awarded based on finishing time, which are then totalled to form an overall team score for the championships.[2]

Balkan racewalking competitions originated in the main Balkan Athletics Championships. A men's 20 km walk was first held in 1961 and a women's 10 km walk was introduced in 1988 (later increased to a 20 km race in 2001).[3] One-off indoor walks were also held at the Balkan Indoor Athletics Championships in 1994.[4] The Balkan championships for racewalking were first held separately from the main championships in 2000,[3] though Balkan Athletics starting their official numbering of a discrete Balkan Race Walking Championships from 2002 onwards.[5]
