to return to VRWC main page. The RaceWalking calendar in Australia is divided into two main seasons, Winter and Summer.
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.
The Summer Season occurs between October and March and coincides with the long hot Australian summer. The emphasis in on track walking and most races are over the shorter track distances. There is also a strong walking presence in the 'Interclub' Track Competition with all Athletics Teams fielding walkers in their regular competitions.
VRWC races are
conducted in a traffic free environment on the Albert Park Formula One
Grand Prix service roads, Albert Park Reserve, Middle Park.

The Racewalking Australia Challenge is a Racewalking Australia club
versus club competition. The points from the fastest competitor from
each club in each race will be added and the club with the lowest point
declared the winner. If a club fails to have a competitor finish in any
category, that club will be awarded the same points as the highest
scoring competitor. Master athletes will not be scored on their time
but their age grading so all Master athletes must submit their age at
entry time.
