Volha Mazuronak (Belarusian: Вольга Мазуронак; born 14 April 1989) is a Belarusian long-distance runner and former racewalker. She is a three-time national champion. She had a marathon best of 2:23:54 and was fourth at the London Marathon in 2016. She has won marathons in Siberia and California and was a silver medallist on the track at the 2015 Military World Games.
Her international debut came in distance running and she placed in the top 100 at the 2005 IAAF World Cross Country Championships junior race. A switch to racewalking gave better results as she took fourth in the 5000 metres track walk at the 2005 World Youth Championships in Athletics then placed in the top five at both the 2006 World Junior Championships in Athletics and the 2006 IAAF World Race Walking Cup junior race. She also competed at the 2005 European Race Walking Cup but was disqualified due to lifting. She made her last appearance in racewalking in 2007 and did not compete at a high level after this for another four years.
Mazuronak returned to her athletic career in 2011 as a long-distance runner. In her road running debut she won the Warsaw Half Marathon in a time of 1:14:25 minutes. She took her first marathon win on her debut at the Dêbno Marathon in Poland, crossing the line in 2:33:56 hours. She made her senior international debut at the European Cup 10000m, but was down the rankings in 32nd. She won the Siberian International Marathon in August, but her win streak at that distance came to an end at the Baltimore Marathon, where she was fourth. A new best of 2:33:33 hours came in a runner-up finish at the Łódź Marathon.
