VRWC Fixture - 2024/2025 Summer Season
The RaceWalking calendar in Australia is divided into two main seasons, Winter and Summer.
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.
The Summer Season occurs between October and March and
coincides with the long hot Australian summer. The emphasis in on track
walking and most races are over the shorter track distances. There is
also a strong walking presence in the 'Interclub' Track Competition
with all Athletics Teams fielding walkers in their regular
competitions.
VRWC races are conducted in a traffic free environment on the Albert
Park Formula One Grand Prix service roads, Albert Park Reserve, Middle
Park.
