• Open and Masters teams will be separated by calculating the best team score derived from eight of the ten premiership events. In the event of teams still not being separated, the best team score derived from six of the ten premiership events shall be used.

The Victorian Race Walking Club is a specialist race walking club which has been affiliated with Athletics Victoria since 1921. The VRWC is also affiliated with Racewalking Australia. Races are conducted regularly on weekends in a traffic free environment on pathways in the Albert Park Reserve, Middle Park.
CONTACTS
President: Stuart Cooper Email: [email protected]
Secretary: Terry Swan Email: [email protected]
Clubrooms/Race Headquarters: Middle Park Bowling Club Complex Canterbury Rd, Middle Park (Melway Ref. 2K F10)
Postal Address: G.P.O. Box 5192, Melbourne, 3001 Website www.vrwc.org.au
EVENTS
The VRWC conducts a full range of race walk events and holds regular VRWC Club Championships in the following categories: Under 9, Under 12, Under 15, Open Age, and Masters (Women 40+, Men 40+). The VRWC invites any persons new to the sport of racewalking to participate in our club events as an unjudged competitor. The club assists Athletics Victoria to conduct the Victorian Road Walking Championships. The club also assists Athletics Victoria to conduct the Athletics Australia Road Walking Championships when they are allocated to Melbourne.
COACHING
Specialized coaching in race walking technique can be arranged for all levels from beginner to advanced. Qualified coaches conduct seminars.
Contact: Mark Donohoo, VRWC Club Coach Email: [email protected]
JUDGING AT VRWC EVENTS
All VRWC championship races are conducted in accordance with International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Rules 230 and 240. Walkers competing in club non-championship races may choose to be judged in one of two ways – under full IAAF rules or under Club Rules. Club rules judge walkers on the very simple concept that the walker is walking to be best of his/her ability in a manner that does not give him/her an unfair advantage over other walkers.
IAAF RULE 230
Race Walking – Definition of Race Walking:
1. Race Walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground, so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg shall be straightened (i.e. not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until the vertical upright position.
The definition is to be read in conjunction with sections 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of Rule 230, printed in the current IAAF Handbook. Sections of IAAF Rule 240 Road Events are also applicable to Race Walking events.
VRWC RULES
• VRWC numbers are issued to all VRWC financial members and are to be worn in all VRWC races, along with the correct VRWC club uniform.
• Competitors must wear racing numbers on the front and back of their uniform top. If required, temporary club numbers are available from the Race Secretary.
• VRWC members must wear their first claim AV Club Uniform and their current AV registration number in all Athletics Victoria championships.
• VRWC members compete in Racewalking Australia events as part of the Racewalking Victoria team and must compete in the appropriate Racewalking Victoria uniform.
• Check in for all races is in the VRWC Clubrooms, Middle Park Bowling Club Complex .

• Non-members or unfinancial members will be permitted to start in these races, but will not receive points.
• Walkers competing under Club Rules are not eligible to earn Handicap or Actual Time points.
ATHLETICS VICTORIA & ATHLETICS AUSTRALIA EVENTS
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 9 days 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 is 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.
