(Initial List From: Maryvonne Mavroukakis)
This is NOT an exhaustive bibliography on the sport, it is simply a retrieval of titles that contain the words racewalk, racewalking, race walk, speedwalking, sportwalking, or which have the Subject heading: Walking (Sports) which are in the Library of Congress. Some books are no longer found elsewhere, so I hope you'll find this list interesting. Here is the list (by alphabetical order of authors):
