Victorian Marathon Club
The VMC was one of Australia's most influential running clubs from 1946 to 1994. The club was founded by Percy Cerutty et al with a mission to foster and promote amateur long distance running. The newsletter was introduced by VMC secretary Fred Lester publishing local, state and national results along with commentary.
