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.
