REMEMBER - Come March 31st, you cease to be a registered athleteil! and YOU CEASE TO BE A FINANCIAL MEMBER OF THE V.M.C.1!I 29th ANNUAL REPORT. SEASON 197^/75 After looking at the previous Annual Report, pricrto sitting down to compile the current one, it is pleasing to note that a little bit of progress has been made. Those of you who still have the old report will do well to re-read it and compare the situation, both in the V.M.C, and the Victorian Athletios. On the positive side, there has been a lift in performances among the distances, both men and women. At long last we seem to be getting away from the *'fear of being beatem", of somehow9dinting our status* if we are not first over the line, and competitors are showing new zest with corresponding results. Our membership has topped the 350 mark (351 as against 2M+ in the previous year) and we have maintained our "minimum of fuss ‘ tenet in spite of the increase in organisational problems brought on by growth like this. Our dinner-danoe following the V.M.C. Marathon was a tremendous highlight of the Season, the New Year Midnight race and barbeque a similar success in the suxnmerperiod. For the statistically minded In the 7 winter fixtures 769 took part, an average of 97 per race.day. In the 4 summer fixtures 3*0 took part, an average of 86 per race day. In all regular fixtures 1022 took part, an average of 93 each race day. In addition, 12 started in the 1 hour run, 3 in the 2 hour run, 52 in the midnight run These figures include everybody, regardless of age or sex. Now, the words Ma little bit of progress'* is appropriate as we are faced with a new and fast growing situation that we will not be able to cope with unless we alter our own approach and methods. Obviously, in a situation where not only participation lias increased several fold and standards are much higher than 10 or 20 years ago, but also the V.M.C. is expected to give a lead in many ways, we are also facing a change in quality, a completely new perspective, a challenge to change our own ways in tackling our sport or be left behind. Athletics in Victoria, and to some degree throughout Australia, had jogged along in the same old way for decades until the beginning of last season and changes had to take place if we were to avoid stagnation. At present, athletics is very much in an experimental stage, trying to find ways and means of adjusting to the demands of the day and there is never a smooth path to success. Mistakes will be made, but it is only people who do nothing who never make mistakes J There was an excellent response to the call for an extended committee meeting of the V.M.C. for which a special .letter went out to our most frequent participants in recent times. The letter asked ■'•v.ple to indicate in what way they may be able to contribute towards the effectivelyr. of the club, similarly to the membership form attached to the Notice of Annual Gonc^al Meeting, and it is essential to the wellbeing of the club that many more members think about the way in which they would like to help in the running of our own affairs and tell us about it. What is important is that you want to do it for yourself. We envisage a pool of people for wach activity of the club,whether on race day or other tines, who will work together with whoever takes responsibility on behalf of your Committee, taking turns if need be, so that no one is ever overburdened with jobs and everyone can take part in running and other activities of the club. Our friends and members overseas and interstate have also been active for and with the club, it is hard to put into words how much their contributions to the V.M.C. Newsletter means to all our members. Their contributions are most eagerly received and give

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.
