# 2018 IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships

The 2018 IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships was the 28th edition of the global team racewalking competition organised by the Association of Athletics Federations.

## Overview

The programme remained unchanged, with senior men's races over 20 km and 50 km, a 20 km senior women's race, and junior category events for both sexes over 10 km. However, following the approval by the IAAF of the women's 50 km walk as an official event, for the first time women were permitted to enter the 50 km. A separate women's 50 km was not scheduled, but women were allowed to enter the men's event and were treated as equal competitors for team scoring.
