The Winter Season occurs between April and September and covers the Australian winter. Conditions are generally superb for road walking with mild winter temperatures, fast courses and lots of competition for all age groups.

VRWC TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS, MENTONE, SATURDAY 26 APRIL 205

The VRWC winter season kicked off last Saturday afternooon with track races at Dolomore Reserve in Mentone. The meet included VRWC Club Championships for the following distances: 10,000m, 5000m, 3000m and 1500m. Now that's a great way to kick off the season! A total of 29 walkers contested the various events on offer. Conditions were just about perfect and there were a number of PBs and some great performances. We also welcomed a lot of new walkers having their first walks with the club - welcome to Ben and Felix Skurka, Anna Dubar, Daisy Hooper and Milana Fernando. Special shout outs to Bob Gardiner (M85 1500m club record) and Heather Carr (W75 1500m club record).
