Contact Don McLaren, VRWC Club Coach Phone: Website: JUDGING AT VRWC EVENTS All VRWC championship races are conducted in accordance with International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Rules 230 and 240. Walkers competing in club non-championship races may choose to be judged in one of two ways under full IAAF rules or under Club Rules. Club rules judge walkers on the very simple concept that the walker is walking to be best of his/her ability in a manner that does not give him/her an unfair advantage over other walkers. IAAF Rule 230 Race Walking Definition of Race Walking 1. Race Walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground, so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg shall be straightened (i.e. not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until the vertical upright position. The definition is to be read in conjunction with sections 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 of Rule 230, printed in the current IAAF Handbook. Sections of IAAF Rule 240 Road Events are also applicable to Race Walking events. VRWC Rules VRWC numbers are issued to all VRWC financial members and are to be worn in all VRWC races, along with the correct VRWC club uniform. Competitors must wear racing numbers on the front and back of their uniform top. If required, temporary club numbers are available from the Race Secretary. VRWC members must wear their first claim AV Club Uniform and their current AV registration number in all Athletics Victoria championships. VRWC members compete in Racewalking Australia events as part of the Racewalking Victoria team and must compete in the appropriate Racewalking Victoria uniform. Check in for all races is in the VRWC Clubrooms, Middle Park Bowling Club Complex. Age groups for all VRWC races will be taken from the start of the club financial year, namely 1st October. All walkers must generally register 30 minutes before the start time of their event. For Saturday afternoon events, a 2PM race registration cutoff is enforced.
