The 3000 metres race walk is a racewalking event. The event is competed as a track race and was part of the athletics programme for women at the IAAF World Indoor Championships in Athletics until 1993. Athletes must always keep in contact with the ground and the supporting leg must remain straight until the raised leg passes it. 3000 meters is 1.86 miles.[1]

The imperial equivalent of the 3000 m walk is the 2 miles race walk, which was contested at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships until 1987. The distance has also been contested at racewalking events in Moscow.[2]

World records

IAAF just ratified world records for women's indoor marks. On January 30, 1999, Claudia Stef of Romania set the 3000 m race walk world indoor record in Bucharest in a time of 11:40.33.
