There are traditional and non-traditional athletic events. Many events have handicapping or are events nearest to competitor’s nominated time/distance, to cater for all abilities.

Opportunities exist for team events (inter-venue and state wide competitions) too. Social long distance runs (7-10+km) are also held weekly, most Sunday mornings (7:30am start) from a nearby location.

Programmes are set for each quarter of the year and may vary at short notice if heavy rain disrupts events.

Participants are able to do their own training during our sessions.

Formal coaching isn’t currently available via VMA currently although private coaches (not connected to VMA) sometimes offer such services at our track. They can be contacted separately.

There is a a chance for socialising over supper after the athletics events conclude each Thursday evening.
