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.

VRWC ROADWALKS, MIDDLE PARK, SATURDAY 4 JULY

Our VWRC winter season finally got underway on the afternoon of Saturday 4th July at our club headquarters at Middle Park. It was a cold and miserable day, straight from the Antarctic and COVID-19 restrictions were in place, but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of the 32 walkers, keen to dust off the cobwebs after a 4 month layoff.

The races were staggered, with the 1km Open walk first up at 1:45PM. We welcomed first timer Alexandra, Lewis and Fraser Aubrey. We also saw superb walks from our young dynamos Ela Uzun and Havana Ali, who both PB’d, with Ela also setting a new U10 Club Record.

The 3km Open Walk was next up at 2PM. This was the biggest field and it was led out by 12 year old Liam Hutchins who did a great PB of 15:16. Riley Coughlan and Daniel Pashutin upped their race distances and attacked the 3km for the first time, both walking well. And we welcomed back Liam Evans whom we haven’t seen racing with us since 2012!
