The Gran Premio Cantones de A Coruña de Marcha, also known as the Cantones De La Coruña or the Gran Premio de Marcha Cantones de la Coruña-Sergio Vazquez, is an annual race walking competition held in A Coruña, Spain. As of 2024[update], it is a World Athletics Race Walking Tour Gold level meeting – the highest-level circuit of international race walking competitions.[1]
The meeting is organized by the Royal Spanish Athletics Federation, and it is typically held in early June or late May.
History[edit]
The race was first held on 16 May 1987, after being planned for about a year prior, with the help of the Xunta de Galicia.[2] With the exception of 2020, it has been held annually since, and it has been a part of the IAAF Race Walking Challenge (now called the World Athletics Race Walking Tour) since 2005 playing host to competitors from 63 countries.[2] Since 2001, both men and women typically walk the 20 km distance, with some exceptions.
The course has also hosted various international championships, beginning in 1996 when it was the host of the 1996 European Race Walking Cup. In 2006, it hosted the 2006 IAAF World Race Walking Cup, and in 2011 it served as the IAAF Race Walking Challenge Final.[2]
One world record has been set at the Gran Premio Cantones de A Coruña de Marcha. In 2015, Liu Hong of China walked a time of 1:24:38 for the 20 km walk, breaking Elmira Alembekova's record from earlier that year. It would not be broken until 2021, when Yang Jiayu walked 1:23:49 at another competition.[3]
In 2019, the meeting received a World Athletics Heritage plaque for its contributions to the sport of athletics.[4]
