The [Victorian Athletic League] organises professional footrunning events ranging from 70 to 3200 metres. The most famous of these events is the Stawell Gift which has been run since 1878 and hosts the richest footrace in Australia. Many other gifts are held around Victoria in country and metro locations including Ballarat, Bendigo, Wangaratta, Maryborough, Keilor, Burramine, Ringwood, Rye and Olympic Park. Races are run under a handicap system which makes races competitive.[1]
