The A.A. Distance Running and Walking Advisory Committee

An Athletics Australia Walking Committee was set up as a direct consequence of the 2004 Inquiry into Athletics In Australia. The Terms of Reference for the new committee were simple - To address all matters relating to Race Walking in Australia and make recommendations to the Board of Athletics Australia.It was a sad fact of life that during the lifetime of this committee, there was little opportunity or invitation for it to actually work constructively with Athletics Australia.

All A.A. committees were disbanded in 2008 and nominations were sought for a set of new committees. The makeup of these committees has now been decided.

The A.A. committee of interest to the racewalking community is the Athletics Australia Distance Running and Walking Advisory Committee.

This committee has a term of office extending from 2009 to 31 December 2012 and will advise the Board generally on matters relating to road, mountain and ultra running, road walking and cross-country running competition, including amendments to the technical rules of such competition.  The Committee comprises of ten members who will be subdivided into Distance Running and Walks
