The 34-year-old from Richmond, B.C., shaved seven seconds off the previous record of two hours, 21 minutes 47 seconds held by Japan’s Masatora Kawano since last year.
Dunfee also knocked more than three minutes off his previous best time to win the World Athletics Race Walking Tour distance in Dudince, Slovakia.
German runner-up Christopher Linke finished three minutes behind the Canadian. Mexico’s Jose Doctor was third.
Dunfee was an Olympic bronze medallist in the 50-kilometre race in Tokyo in 2021.
That 50k is no longer part of the Olympic Games, which has men’s and women’s 20k races and a mixed relay.
