WELCOME
Racewalking is simply a form of walking yet it can carry a person to any level of cardiovascular fitness - including champion in one of the most difficult Olympic events.
Developed in England almost 400 years ago, racewalking today attracts men and women of all ages because of its outstanding benefits, minimal cost, and closely knit family of participants. Whether you are interested in basic fitness, setting records, or something in between, we invite you to
COME WALK WITH US!
This Web site has two purposes:
1. to introduce you to racewalking, and
2. to help you learn how to racewalk.
I invite you to spend a few minutes browsing through this Web site. Read the brief overview of racewalking. Find out how some walkers respond when asked, "why don't you just run?" Then, read about the fascinating history of racewalking.
And, if you do nothing else, check out both the basic technique page and Icabod's gallery to see what racewalking is all about. Even if you choose not to racewalk, I think you will find a quick visit to these pages well worth your time.
Thank you for linking by.
