Race Walking New Zealand (RWNZ) promotes and develops Race Walking in New Zealand and schedules RWNZ Championships in conjunction with Athletics NZ & local Race Walking Clubs.

We aim to develop RWNZ and maintain it as an acknowledged authority, voice, and source of information for race walking in New Zealand.

Our objectives are to:

-Promote and encourage race walking in New Zealand as its primary role.

-Undertake a co-ordinating role to support race walkers and local race walking clubs, athletic clubs and associations, whose members are involved in race walking and other forms of walking.

-Act as a voice for race walking generally and maintain a link with Athletics New Zealand.

-Provide vehicle for communications between members and to distribute information by a regular newsletter, emails, and other means.

-Encourage the identification, support and development of elite race walkers and coaches.

-Conduct walking races, and to assist other organisations who conduct walking races.

-Liaise with groups which promote race walking in other countries, and other forms of walking in New Zealand, and to accept non-race walkers as members.
