VRWC Club Records

VRWC Logo



VRWC maintains club records for most age groups and most distances. Separate track and road records are maintained for shorter distance events while road records are maintained for longer events.

Note: In 2022, VRWC club records were added for 35km which has become the new international long distance walk standard.

The current VRWC Club Record List reads as follows: VRWC-Club-Records-2023-11-08.pdf
