Tan Time Trial: Victorian Road Runners
4 & 8km runs starting from starting from The Pillars of Wisdom on the Tan
Enjoy running jogging fun run/walks? Come run with us. Non-members welcome. Friendly atmosphere. Non-competitive suits all abilities and ages. No pressure to join but there are advantages. Victorian Road Runners were formed in 1982 as a club for "non-registered runners" that is people who wanted to participate in fun runs and the like without being members of a competitive athletic club. That continues. More broadly we actively encourage all fun running not just within our group.

Melway 2G A9 /UBD 4 N18.
ALL WELCOME - non-members gold coin donation entry fee (into the blue bucket).
