NWANA Open Weekend Recap — September 5–6, 2026
Congratulations to the winners of this weekend’s NWANA Open Nordic Walking events!
NWANA has introduced Performance Levels across the entire 2026 Open Series, based on official time standards for each distance.
This system does not begin with this weekend. All previously approved 2026 results have also been reclassified using the same Performance Level standards, and event placing and season standings have been recalculated accordingly.
Athletes are ranked separately by Performance Level and gender. Performance Levels are determined by the athlete’s approved result — they are not individually assigned by NWANA.

A Performance Level is assigned independently to every approved result, so an athlete’s level may change from one event to another as performance changes during the season.
Congratulations to all of this weekend’s competitors and Performance Level winners — and to everyone whose earlier 2026 results are now included in the updated system.
Keep competing. Keep improving. See where your next result takes you.
