Race Walking

  • Welcome to USATF Long Island Race Walk

    Long Island has an active program which has produced some of the country's finest race walkers, including many Olympians, dating back to the 1960s. Walk-USA/Oiselle's Maria Michta-Coffey, who competed in the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, holds six American records.

    Dave McGovern and Gary Westerfield are world-renowned coaches and authors. The professionally designed course at the Dennison Building office complex in Hauppauge is the site of national and international championships.

    Walk-USA hosts group workouts once a week, year-round, at the rear of the Dennison Building on Thursdays at 6:00 PM. Contact Gary Westerfield for details.

    Unfortunately, World Class Racewalking has suspended their free group weekly workouts at Friends Academy. However, Coach Dave McGovern is still available for private sessions for a fee.
