About 2026 NWANA Open Nordic Walking Series
2026 NWANA OPEN NORDIC WALKING SERIES
The 2026 NWANA Open Nordic Walking Series is a structured virtual competition series organized by the Nordic Walking Association of North America.
The Series is open to athletes from any country and is designed to create a consistent competition system across multiple distances and stages throughout the season.
Approved results become part of the official NWANA competition record and contribute to Performance Levels, event placing, season standings, recognition, and prizes.

HOW IT WORKS
A Performance Level is assigned separately to every approved result. An athlete may therefore compete in different Performance Levels during the same season as performance changes.
Men and women are ranked separately within each Performance Level. Level Place shows the athlete’s position within their Performance Level and gender for that stage.
SEASON STANDINGS
Approved results earn points within the athlete’s Performance Level and gender. Because each result is classified independently, an athlete may accumulate points in more than one Performance Level during the season.
If athletes are tied on season points within the same Performance Level and gender, the faster approved result is used as the tie-breaker.
STRICT TIME BOUNDARIES
All under standards are strict. The result must be faster than the listed time to qualify for that level. A result exactly equal to a boundary is classified in the next applicable Performance Level.
THE PURPOSE OF THE SERIES
The NWANA Open Nordic Walking Series creates an ongoing competition record, gives athletes a clear progression pathway, and provides a foundation for rankings, future live competition, national championships, and North American continental competition.
