INTRODUCTION 

The Track Walks 

The first walking titles were associated with the Victorian Track and Field Championships which were held annually in the February/March period. 1 and 3 mile walks were included 

on the program in the inaugural Championships in 1892. The track walk in conjunction with the Track and Field Titles is still present today but has gone through a number of 

changes over the years. 

1892 - 1948 1 and 3 Mile Track Walks 

1949.1970 2 Mile Track Walk 

1971.1982 3000m Track Walk 

1983 - 5000m Track Walk 

The Road Walks 

The first road walk to be designated at a Victorian Title was the 25 Mile walk which eventually became the 50 km event. It has had a relatively unbroken history since its 

inauguration in 1914 

1914.1928 25 Mile Road Walk 

1929 - 50 km Road Walk 

In 1923, the 10 Mile Road Walk was created and was a very popular international distance for many years with officially recognised world records. When the Commonwealth Games 

started and a roadwalk was included in 1966, it was decided to replace this championship with a 30 km championship which still continues today 


1971- 30 km Road Walk 

It was eventually recognised that a shorter roadwalk distance was needed, especially since the Olympics was held over the 10,000m distance. So in 1929, the 5 Mile road walk was 

created. It was eventually changed to 10 km and is still held today. 



When the Olympic walk distances were moved from 10,000m to the 20km / 50 km roadwalk double, a 20 km walking title was created and it still continues today 


In 1973, a 15 km Road Walk title was added to the list and has been contested regularly each year since. 

1973 - 15 km Road Walk

AV 50 KM RESULTS FOR 1994-1997 

There seem to have been 2 events in 1994 that were both designated as AV 50 km champs (according to VRWC archives) 

11 Sept 1994 AV 50 km Champ 1. H Summers 5.21.04 (only finisher) 

18 Dec 1994 AV 50 KM Champ and WC Trial 1. M Harvey 4:02:17, 2. D Cousins 4:16:37 3. D McGrath 4:16:53 

The Sept edition is noted in a subsequent Heel and Toe magazine as the 1994 Vic Champ and Harry has confirmed it. Mark Donahoo thinks that the December edition was an early 

scheduling of the 1995 Victorian Championship. That makes sense as the 1995 Winter fi xture does not show any Victorian 50 km event. The only 50 km scheduled in 1995 was a 

VRWC Club Championships held on 17 Dec 1995 at Knox and won by Duane Cousins. This was not an AV championship. 

17 Dec 1995, VRWC 50 km Champ, Knox 1. Duane Cousins 3:54:38 

Similarly there were 2 AV 50 km races scheduled in 1996. 

The1995/96 VRWC fixture shows the 1996 AV 50 km Champ and Olympic Game selection trial scheduled for 31 March 1996 at Knox. Results in this event were 

31 Mar 1996 AV 50 km and OG Trial 1. Simon Baker 3:55:46, 2. Duane Cousins 3:56:21, 3. Michael Harvey 4:05:41 

I also have a VRWC results sheet for Sunday 15 Dec 1996 for a 50 km race at Albert Park which reads as ‘AV 50 km Champ and World Cup Trial’. Results on that occasion were 

15 Dec 1996 AV 50 Km and WC Trial 1. D McGrath 4:16:05, 2. Mick Harvey 4:17:41, 3. Shane Pearson 4:19:21, 4. Mark Thomas 4:23:01 (very hot) 

I have no evidence of any AV 50 km title being contested during the 1997 Winter season. So my guess is that the first was the 1996 AV championship and the second was the 1997 

AV championship (early again). 

The enxt 50 km scheduled was in Dec 1997 when we had an event at Albert Park labelled ‘AA 50 KM and Comm Games Trial’. Results were 

13 Dec 1997, AA and WC Trial 1. Dion Russell 3:48:12, 2. Duane Cousins 3:47:40, 3. Dominic McGrath 3:19:15

This is not designated as an AV championship, only an AA one. So it should be left out of the equation.
