racewalk
Fast walking sport
Racewalk is a competitive sport in which athletes walk as fast as possible while maintaining contact with the ground—one foot must touch before the other lifts, and the supporting leg must straighten.
The gait looks distinctively stiff and hip-swiveling.
As a verb, to racewalk is to engage in this activity: She racewalks five miles every morning.
