The Korzeniowski Warsaw Race Walking Cup is an annual race walking competition held in Warsaw, Poland. As of 2024, it is a World Athletics Race Walking Tour Gold level meeting – the highest-level circuit of international race walking competitions.
The meeting is organized by the Polish Athletic Association, and it is typically held in April or May.
History
The race is named after Robert Korzeniowski, Olympic champion in racewalking from Poland. The first edition of the race was organized as a fundraiser for Ukrainian athletes in opposition to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Although a 20 km walk was originally planned for 2022, only a 10 km walk for professionals was contested as a 20 km was contested two weeks later on the same course for the Polish Athletics Championships. From 2023 onwards, the featured race distance was 20 km, along with several shorter distances for youth and masters athletes.
