Welcome to New Albany, Ohio!
Join Thousands of Other Walkers in the Nation’s Premier Walker-Only Race
The New Albany Walking Classic is the premier event of the New Albany Walking Club. The Walk provides an opportunity for all types of walkers - recreational and competitive, to participate in an event exclusive to those who prefer a walking-only venue.
 Through the Classic, we hope to elevate the status of walking and provide the opportunity for individuals to enter an event which provides a comfort level they may not experience when placed with runners. More importantly, the Classic seeks to facilitate the goal of the New Albany Walking Club in promoting individual, community and family health through walking. Walk a 10K or a Half Marathon. Due to the request of hundreds of walkers, a half marathon distance has been added.
The half marathon and 10K walkers will start together at 9:00 AM on September 21. View a map of this United States Track and Field Certified 10K and half marathon courses. Register Early as entries are Limited. Last year’s 10K closed out early. It is anticipated that this year’s event will close out even earlier.
