Your question isn't clear, but there are two Walking events in the Olympics and one for women
The men's are the 20 Kilometer Walk (12.43 miles) & the 50 Kilometer Walk (31.07 miles).

There is no Olympic Walkathon, at least not in the Olympics.
Walkathons are generally fund raising events where people get pledges for walking a specific distance.
The word "Olympic" is own by the Olympic committee. Anything that uses the word if violating their trademark rights.
"Olympic Walkathon" sounds like some organizers idea of a good name for their event. It also sounds like he/she could be getting a letter from the Olympic committees lawyers.
