As usual, the national championships are “open” to athletes from other Countries and the competition is also valid for the World Athletics - World Race Walking Tour in  Bronze Level.

Among them stand out:

- from Slovakia - Michal Morway who competes in the 35km men and Klaudia Zarska who competes in the 20km women

- from Latvia - Ruslan Smolonskis competing in the 20km men

- from Lithuania - Austeja Kavaliauskaite competing in the women's 20km

- from Croatia - Michal Morway competing in the 35km men

- from Kazakinstan - Galina Yakusheva and Kristina Morozova both competing in 20km women

 

There is no shortage of prizes.

The first three of each race of the 35km and 20km both men and women will give US $ 250, 200 and 150 respectively.

 

Jupiter Pluvius did not please the local organizers, making his presence felt on a rainy day. On the other hand, December and January are the two wettest months of the year in Antalya with an average of 12 rainy days each month.
