Welcome to the Victorian Runners & Trainer's Association!

Currently, the history of the VRTA is sitting in one bag in my lounge room, finding dates of records back to 1974. I am in the process of scanning the history of the VRTA to add to the our website. I am also hoping that there are individuals out there that might also have other information on the history of the VRTA that we can add to the site in the coming months.

If you have any documents, images, Pro Runner Magazines, programs etc, then I'd love to hear from you. If we can add it to the site, then we start to document some history of not only the VRTA, but how the VAL directed and was run in the 70's through to now.
