Recently US athlete Katie Burnett did a 50km race walk in track in 4:29 (thank to that she's able to compite at the World Championships), so apparently it isn't as weird as it sounds

well, but I guess there wasn´t some 80 starters M and W walking together in that track. This may end only in a total mess

Just messaged a friend who works for the IAAF.

Reply "Holding the marathon and walks in the stadium has never been discussed - there is no truth in this story"

If they really wanted to hold a climatized marathon/race walk, I bet Qatar would totally be up for letting them do it in a large mall or warehouse complex where they could create a wide-ish 1k-2.5km loop.
