IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships


The IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships is a race walking event organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations. It has been held since 1961, and generally on a biennial basis. Women first entered the 1979 edition. It was formerly known as the Lugano Cup after the city that hosted the first event. In 2004, a Junior division was added, consisting of Men and Women which are 19 or younger.

The 2016 Cup was due to be held in Cheboksary, Russia. However the IAAF's suspension of the All-Russia Athletic Federation prohibits Russia from hosting international competitions. This event was relocated.
