Add Nordic Walking to your competitions

NWANA brings the complete sport system to associations and event organizers: competition rules, sanctioning, officiating, organizer and judge education, verified results infrastructure and a championship pathway for the athletes your events develop.

What NWANA provides

The sport, ready to run

Rules and sanctioning

NWANA competition rules, sanctioning of Nordic Walking competitions and official recognition of results inside the federation system.

Organizer and judge education

Race directors, organizers and judges train through NWANA Academy, with practical assessments at live events.

Results infrastructure

Verified results, standings and rankings run on NWANA's competition infrastructure, integrated with event registration.

Athlete pathway

Your participants gain a development route: Athlete License, the official virtual Series, rankings and the road to NWANA championships.

Elite credibility

NWANA's leadership and Elite Athletes include World and European Championship medalists. See the Elite Athletes roster.

Category growth

A Nordic Walking division adds a complete participant category to an existing event: new athletes, new sponsors, a new story for the event.

Formats

Three ways to bring Nordic Walking in

  • A Nordic Walking division inside an existing running or walking event, run to NWANA rules with official results.
  • A dedicated NWANA-sanctioned competition built with the federation from course to podium.
  • A season series across several events, with standings that carry athletes toward the championships.
