LBG Walking Carnival 2026

The club, on behalf of Race Walking Australia, invites race walkers, fitness walkers, coaches, judges and other officials to participate in this year's Annual LBG Walking Carnival to be held on the 6th and 7th June 2026. All athletes are welcome – from elite to novice, and everyone in between!

This year, the organising committee has shifted the emphasis from being a single day event to a two-day walking carnival where athletes, judges and coaches can refine their craft on the Saturday and then compete or officiate on the Sunday. The Saturday expert run activities will be conducted at the Australian Institute of Sport track (AIS).

All races will be conducted on a certified 1 kilometre circuit on the cycling criterium track at Stromlo Forest Park, affording walkers a smooth surface with a minimal rise at one end and spectators a view of the walkers for most of the course. All race walking events of 5km or longer are World Rankings Competition events.

While all race and fitness walkers are invited to participate, only participants representing Race Walking Federation affiliated clubs are eligible to win Race Walking Federation or ACT Walkers Club trophies, Handicap trophies or participate in teams competitions. They will also not earn any state points – they will instead be eligible for ACT Walkers Club medals.
