VRWC Results - Summer Season 2026/2027

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.
For this reason, VRWC only holds a small number of events during this period.
