ABOUT iWALK

iWalk 2010 is Singapore’s first ever race-walking event. Race walking is the closest alternative to running. It is equally aerobic compared to running, minus the impact. Once basic technique is mastered, race walking is actually an easier sport to progress within because competitors avoid the injuries that continually plague runners.
