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.

AV ROADWALKS, MIDDLE PARK, SATURDAY 9 MAY 2026

The latest round of our VRWC winter season last Saturday saw 48 walkers contesting a variety of distances at Middle Park. Conditions were excellent and the walkers made the most of it, with lots of PBs in the shorter distances and with a number of our younger walkers testing themselves out over longer distances. We have a lot of new club members in the young brigade and the standard of walking looks excellent to an old stager like me.

AV AND VRWC TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS, MENTONE, SATURDAY 25 APRIL 2026

The the VRWC winter season kicked off with a round of Victorian and VRWC Track Champiobships at Dolomore Oval, Mentone, on Saturday afternoon. It's a long trip down south but we were pleased to see a healthy turnout of 43 walkers testing themselves on a sunny but windy day.

The main event on offer was the Victorian Open 10,000m Track Championship which saw wins to Melbourne based Dylan Richardson of NSW (44:30) and Jemima Montag (43:16) who was back to racing after a year off (apart from one easy hitout in December). Jemima showed she is fully recovered now from her surgery and she is obviously keen to defend her Commonwealth Games title later this year. We also played host to Olivia Sandery of SA (44:00) and Hannah Mison (NSW) who is down in Melbourne for study.

1. Dylan Richardson (INV)    NSW    44:30 Invitation

5. Hannah Mison (INV)    NSW   DNF

VRWC Club Championships were also contested over 10,000m, 5000m, 3000m and 1500m. The standout performance came from Rebecca Henderson who scorched the track with her big PB of 5:58 in the 1500m. It's a long time since Bec did such a short race and it was an impressive walk which set a new VRWC Open 1500m record. Angus Shuttleworth also excelled with a 5000m PB time of 21:48 (a VRWC U15 Club Record). We also welcomed Bethany Franzke, Sylvia Ivanova, Marina Campinell, Taylah Bremner, Eve Lampert, Ava Pravednikov, Jaxon Campbell and Jake Howard who had their first walks with us.
