The men's 20 kilometres walk competition of the athletics events at the 2015 Pan American Games took place on the 19 of July on a temporary circuit around the Ontario Place West Channel.[1] The defending Pan American Games champion is Érick Barrondo of Guatemala.

Walking on home soil, Evan Dunfee was frustrated by the slow pace 1 km into the race, so he decided to make what turned into a one-man breakaway for victory. His Canadian training partner Iñaki Gómez came in second more than a minute back after fighting a strategic battle with the rest of the field until the last lap.[2]
