RACEWALKING AUSTRALIA

The Australian Federation of Amateur Walking Clubs was formed in 1958 as a Federation of all the major Race Walking Clubs of the States and Territories of Australia. It has a current membership of 11 clubs with a total membership of some 500+ racewalkers.

The Federation now trades under the name Racewalking Australia while its Business name continues to be the Australian Federation of Race Walking Clubs. So you will find that older pages on this website continue to refer to AFORWC or even to AFRWC but newer pages now refer to the Federation under its preferred trading name of Racewalking Australia.

Racewalking Australia's  main "raison d'etre" is to act as the knowledgeable body concerned with Race Walking in Australia and to co-ordinate walking activities in Australia. To this end we

• organise seminars for our member clubs to share the skills and knowledge of walking competition in Australia and overseas
• hold regular Federation racewalking carnivals in which the member clubs enter teams and contest Federation Title events
• provide expertise to Athletics Australia and the various athletics commissions in Australia.

All Racewalking Australia enquires should be directed to either President David Smith or Secretary Jill Huxley via email
