In all races no vehicles other than official cars, clearly marked for the purpose of the event, shall accompany a runner. Unofficial accompaniment will result in the disqualification of the accompanied runner.

14. PACINGPacing is strictly prohibited, including cyclists, and any infringement will incur the disqualification of the runner being paced.

16. PROTESTSAny protest shall in the first instance be made orally to the referee by the athlete or by someone acting on behalf of the athlete. To arrive at a fair decision, the referee should consider any available evidence that the referee thinks is necessary. The referee may decide on the protest or may refer the matter to the jury. If the referee makes a decision, there shall be a right of appeal to the jury.

A protest must be in writing, signed by a responsible official on behalf of the athlete, and must be accompanied by a deposit of fifty dollars ($50) that will be forfeited if the protest is not upheld (IAAF Handbook Rule 147.3/5).

17. SCORINGCROSS COUNTRY AND ROAD RACE TEAM EVENTS

The first team of a club in any race other than a relay, shall comprise the scheduled number (i.e. 6, 5, 4 or 3) of members of that club who finish nearest to first place, (and who have entered by the correct procedure (see Rule 4). The next team shall comprise the next scheduled number of members to finish nearest to first place, and so on. The sum of the finish place positions gives the points score.

Only correctly entered club athletes will be scored, provided they are wearing their electronic timing bib.

The team with the lowest points score is considered the winner of the team’s race.

If two or more competitors tie for any place, the points for the places concerned will be aggregated and divided equally amongst the competitors so tying.

For any particular event, where there is a tie on points, the team whose last scoring member finished nearest the first place shall be the winning team.

A minimum of three (3) athletes from the same age group will be used to calculate a masters team score. (eg. 40-49, 50-59, 60+)

In order for an athlete to be eligible to compete for points in XCR’18, membership must be submitted and approved by the chosen club no later than midday on the Wednesday prior to the event.

A team must complete the course to earn points.

There is no requirement for a team to finish in more than one event to be eligible to win the Premiership.

In the event of a tie on premiership points, for the purpose of promotion and relegation, teams shall be separated on the following basis:

• Open and Masters teams will be separated by calculating the best team score derived from eight of the ten premiership events. In the event of teams still not being separated, the best team score derived from six of the ten premiership events shall be used.

• Under 20 teams will be separated by calculating the best team score derived from six of the nine premiership events. In the event of teams still not being separated, the best team score derived from five of the nine premiership events shall be used.

• All other Junior teams will be separated by calculating the best team score derived from six of the nine premiership events. In the event of teams still not being separated, the best team score derived from five of the nine premiership events shall be used.

• Country teams will be separated by calculating the best team score derived from three of the four premiership events. In the event of teams still not being separated, the best team score derived from two of the four premiership events shall be used.

In the event of teams still not being separated on the basis of the rules above, the team with the lowest aggregate time over the four relay events will finish ahead.

The Victorian Race Walking Club is a specialist race walking club which has been affiliated with Athletics Victoria since 1921. The VRWC is also affiliated with Racewalking Australia. Races are conducted regularly on weekends in a traffic free environment on pathways in the Albert Park Reserve, Middle Park.

CONTACTS

President: Stuart Cooper Email: [email protected]

Secretary: Terry Swan Email: [email protected]

Clubrooms/Race Headquarters: Middle Park Bowling Club Complex Canterbury Rd, Middle Park (Melway Ref. 2K F10)

Postal Address: G.P.O. Box 5192, Melbourne, 3001 Website www.vrwc.org.au

EVENTS

The VRWC conducts a full range of race walk events and holds regular VRWC Club Championships in the following categories: Under 9, Under 12, Under 15, Open Age, and Masters (Women 40+, Men 40+). The VRWC invites any persons new to the sport of racewalking to participate in our club events as an unjudged competitor.

The club also assists Athletics Victoria to conduct the Athletics Australia Road Walking Championships when they are allocated to Melbourne.

COACHING

Specialized coaching in race walking technique can be arranged for all levels from beginner to advanced. Qualified coaches conduct seminars.

Contact: Mark Donohoo, VRWC Club Coach Email: [email protected]

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.

POINTS COMPETITIONS (2018 WINTER SEASON)

• Some races during the winter season are called Point Races. Point races include Handicap points and Actual Time points.

• Each athlete who is financial and has previously walked the distance or a comparable distance in the last 12 months will be given a handicap time. Points are then awarded.

• Non-members or unfinancial members will be permitted to start in these races, but will not receive points.

• Walkers competing under Club Rules are not eligible to earn Handicap or Actual Time points.

ATHLETICS VICTORIA & ATHLETICS AUSTRALIA EVENTS

While Athletics Victoria and Athletics Australia championships and trials may be held at Albert Park, VRWC do not handle entry forms for these events.

Athletics Victoria is the normal point of contact for all such events. In each case, there should be a specific entry form available and entries will close up to 9 days before the event. Competitors must contact the Athletics Victoria Office, obtain and fill in the requisite entry form and return it with due payment before the closing date.

As in all such cases, the details on the entry form may differ from the above guidelines and the onus is on the individual competitor to ensure that all is in place by the due date. VRWC normally try to have copies of such entry forms at the club as an aid to members.
