Anyone who wants to run or wants to volunteer can join the YCRC.

Whether you are just starting out with running or you have completed marathons all around the world the YCRC can cater for you.

The Runners Club holds a series of races over the year, including major events and smaller club races. The club welcomes non members to all club races for a fee of $10 for seniors and $5 for juniors. All races are free to club members except for the Canberra Half Marathon.

The Club caters for both race and fitness walkers.  Racewalking is an Olympic sport where competitors need to comply with rules set by the International Amateur Athletics Federation (see below). Racewalking events are always judged and competitors can be disqualified. Fitness walking is a term we use for all other walkers. Its also been called ‘power walking’ and ‘sport walking. The only rule is that you don’t run.

We have two main seasons, they are the winter season that is held at various venues around Canberra  on a Saturday afternoon and we also have a summer season with track walks being held at the AIS Stadium every Thursday evening. Club members also have the opportunity to compete in racewalking events around the country on a regular basis

We have walkers of all ages from five to eighty five plus and walkers of all abilities.

At all our events, you can choose between a long and short distance meaning you can choose the distance that you feel comfortable with. We have fast and slow walkers so you probably won’t come last. Even if you do, we’ll show you how to improve. We also have regular handicap starts so that everyone gets an equal chance of winning.

You can walk as fast or slow as you wish. No matter whether you’re a race or fitness walker, walking fast uses your arms vigorously, giving you a full body work-out.

LiveLighter is a website targeted at Australian adults and aims to:

• Increase awareness of the link between being overweight and chronic disease, while promoting healthy eating and regular physical activity.
• Increase understanding of the risks associated with poor lifestyle choices.
• Support the trial, adoption and maintenance of healthy eating, physical activity and healthy weight.
• Encourage public debate about obesity and the need for changes in the community to support healthy eating and physical activity. We need to make sure the healthy choice is also the easy choice.
