VRR is a club promoting the interests of
non-registered athletes of all standards. It aims to encourage distance and fun
running and promote a social spirit through enjoyment of running. Members' benefits
include super efficient organisation of running events, social events, and four
editions of Stride Out magazine each year, (packed with running articles,
cartoons, health hints, race results and running calendar), club uniform and
many more benefits.
For
membership enquiries come to any VRR event or write to VRR,
Non-members
are most welcome to attend any VRR event.
As well as organising seven major events during each
year, the VRR stages the popular 4km&
8km time trials on the first Saturday of each month around the Botanical
Gardens Tan Track. March, June, September and December are handicap events,
followed by breakfast on the Yarra bank to mark the change of season. The
monthly Time Trials provide an excellent gauge of individual progress
throughout the year. There are also monthly Twilite Tan Time Trials in the evening during Daylight Saving.
Entries for VRR events are
taken ONLY on the day of the run. (No pre-entries or late fees apply.)
