More than 400 athletes from some 50 countries will compete at the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships Antalya 24 on 21 April.

The races will take place on a 2km loop course located close to the Antalya Expo Centre, with the start and finish area in front of the Expo 2016 Botanical Park.

The competition holds extra significance this year, as it is a qualifying event for the marathon race walk mixed relay at the Paris Olympic Games.
