The women’s 3,000 meter race walk kicked off the three days of racing at the Huntsman World Senior Games. The event took place on Monday, Oct. 10 at Snow Canyon High School in St. George, Utah. Twenty women competed for top honors, personal bests, measure their improvement in overall fitness, self-satisfaction, and enjoyment.

I opted out of racing in this race because of the lack of quality training, and to be able to take photos of the race walk competition. Instead, I focused on the 1500 meter and 5K distances in an effort to qualify for next year’s National Senior Games.
[EDITED] The 3,000 meter distance is not a qualifying event for the biennial National Senior Games.
