In all, the calendar will consist of twenty events and includes the relay team event. The VCCL race most weekends from April through to September over a variety of surfaces and distances competing for trophies, sashes and prize money. We cater for all ages, and have a handicap system which gives all competitors a winning chance. Those not wishing to register are welcome to run as fun runners. The VCCL Social Club hosts a barbecue and refreshments after each event.
