Changes to VRWC Race Registration

VRWC Logo



To bring entry for the VRWC’s races into line with those of AV, AA and clubs in other states, we are making major changes to the Club’s race registration procedures. These changes are effective immediately.

What do I need to do?

All competing members must complete a separate Member Registration on the site, to enable event registration. This is something you need do only once. Please note that it is not linked to AV’s system, and AV user credentials will not work.

Here’s what you do:

  • Navigate to “Become a Member” in the top menu line. Do not select “Returning member” this year, as the database is empty.
  • Complete the necessary fields. It is important to complete the ages of athletes correctly, as events and pricing are calculated for the age group. For example, if your age is 21, you can only register as an Open member. If your age is 15, you will be presented with U16 age group pricing.
  • Country members, (as defined by VRWC, those living outside the Melbourne 03 Telephone area code) can use Discount code “Country23” at checkout, and a 50% discount will be applied.
  • Upon successful registration, you will receive an email with your unique username. The email will contain a link to set a password. Note that each registered user will have their own username. (For a family with three competitive members, this means three usernames.)
  • You will also have the chance to pay at checkout via Paypal, PinPayments or Direct Bank Transfer. If you don’t pay at that point, another email will be generated with an invoice. The email will have a button or link to take you to the payment page.  You must complete the registration. Reminders will be sent if the account is not reconciled. PinPayment is a system in competition with PayPal and works very similarly. We will phase out Paypal as it's more expensive.
  • Members can purchase a Season Pass upon initial registration, at check out. The Season Pass will be added to the fees payable. Alternatively, a Season Pass can be purchased from the Shop at any time after registering. Once purchased, you will be sent, via email, a unique code to apply at checkout to remove all race fees. For the current season, the season pass is not transferable to anyone else and usage is strictly controlled and monitored. Any misuse will result in invalidation of the season pass and will be removed from the system.

How do I register for a race?

  • Event registration is open to members only. Competitors will be have to login using their unique username. NOTE: If you are using the same PC for multiple competitors, please ensure you are logged in as the correct person – please look at the top of the page to see who is logged in. 
  • Non members will have to pay on the day at the check-in at the clubrooms. Online event registration is not available to non members.
  • Coming Events will be on the right-hand side of the website. Each event will have a  Details button. This button, when pressed, will take you to the Event detail page. From here you can Register in an event or see who else has already registered. Both options will have a button to press.
  • When registering, you will need to add your Club BIB number (if known) and then select which event you are entering on the day. You can only enter one event.  Please complete the form, acknowledge the Terms and Conditions and press Next Step. This page will now confirm your details and event and the option to apply your Season Pass code. Please ensure the Season pass code is correct and has been applied.
  • The next page will confirm everything, then will give you the option either to pay now by selecting PayPal, PinPayments or bank transfer, or via the invoice that will be sent via email.
  • An email will also be automatically generated confirming your entry.

What about Canberra entries?

At this stage, the new system is not configured to take LBG entries. Therefore, the former Racewalk Realm system will be used for Canberra entries ONLY, for this year.

Please contact Terry Swan at secretary@vrwc.org.au if you have further questions or experience any difficulties.
