From Humble Beginnings to Olympic Glory

The origins of race walking can be traced back to the early 19th century. In 1831, a group of British soldiers were challenged to walk from London to Brighton in less than 12 hours. This event was a huge success, and it soon became a popular sport for both men and women.

Race walking was first included in the Olympic Games in 1908. The first Olympic race walking event was a 3,500-meter race for men. The winner of this event was George Larner of Great Britain.

Race walking has continued to grow in popularity over the years. In 1912, the first women's race walking event was added to the Olympic Games. The first woman to win an Olympic race walking event was Fanny Blankers-Koen of the Netherlands.
