Like the women’s and men’s marathon, the race rally will take place in Sapporo, because the organization hoped it would be less warm there than in Tokyo. It turns out that this is not the case.

Sapporo, the city of the 1972 Winter Games, is located about 1,000 kilometers north of the Japanese capital.

Tomala is the last Olympic winner in the 50km race walk. The part will be replaced in Paris 2024 by a mixed race walk.
