Club races are conducted regularly on weekends during the winter months in a traffic free environment on the Albert Park Formula One Grand Prix service roads Albert Park Reserve, Middle Park. The clubrooms are in the Middle Park Bowling Club which is shown in the following map.

All club competition is conducted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the International Association of Athletics Federations.

• in every Australian Olympic Team since World War 2.
• in all but one of the Australian Commonwealth Games Teams since walking events were introduced into the Games at Kingston, Jamaica 1966.
• in all IAAF World Race Walking Cup Australian Teams since the IAAF introduced the competition in 1979 at Eschborn, Germany.
