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.
[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.
