About The Leo Wanker Academy of Fitness

---

The history of the LWAOF is clouded in mystique, shrouded in mystery and a secret passed amongst Academy Statesman and Stateswomen. Click through to learn some of these secrets usually only whispered in darkened corners. 

One of the few rules is donning official Club Wear at paid running events and listing your club as the Leo Wanker Academy for both parkrun and when entering paid events as we love to hear the Academy announced over the PA. If you are caught in a paid event without your allocated Wanker gear you will be subjected to running the next parkrun in a mankini. 

Club gear orders are announced via the Facebook group so once you decide to join get onto that group!

With a secret handshake, payment of the undisclosed fee to a secret Caymans Island bank account and whispering the password you will be admitted to a secret community of Wankers. 

Not really, it's a simple as changing your parkrun club, requesting access to the private LWAOF facebook page and ordering the merch when next being ordered. Ignore all other suggestions of intiation and secret trials. 

The most likely place to observe Wankers in the wild is at Yarrabilba parkrun in South East Queensland. There are also dispersed Wankers across other locations as well, and if you're in the Wanker gear you are likely to hear "Go You Wanker" from other Wankers and Wankerettes. 

Once you become a Wanker practice the not-so-secret Hand Signal by forming a "L" with one hand and "W" with the other for when you see photographers during events. You're not a true Wanker unless you struggle to remember which hand is which letter (Hint - L is not for left).

Once you're a Wanker you will need to partake in the annual January Wanker Challenge. No, don't go buying a family pack of kleenex and extra moisturiser, this is about who can Swim, Bike and Run the furtherest in the month of January and was introduced as more Wankers became triathletes and needed to cram some training in before favourite long course races in Gonondiwindi and Tweed. 

Details will be publicised via the Facebook group.
