While Athletics Victoria and Athletics Australia championships and trials may be held at Albert Park, VRWC do not handle entry forms for these events.
Athletics Victoria is the normal point of contact for all such events. In each case, there should be a specific entry form available and entries will close up to 2 weeks before the event. Competitors must contact the Athletics Victoria office, obtain and fill in the requisite entry form and return it with due payment before the closing date.
As in all such cases, the details on the entry form may differ from the above guidelines and the onus in on the individual competitor to ensure that all is in place by the due date. VRWC normally try to have copies of such entry forms at the club as an aid to members.
The Athletics Victoria Office is located at Olympic Park, Swan
Street, Melbourne, 3004.
