About The Club
What do we do?
We’re an athletics club that compete in Athletics Victoria events throughout the year. Both men and women young and less young form the club, ranging from the highly competitive athlete, to the more social runner.
The club holds regular training sessions with experienced coaches every week for those interested.
During the winter, we host our own races which are free to all members.
There are also various social events throughout the year. This includes a trivia night, functions etc.
Who can join and how much is it to join?
Men and women of any standard are welcome to join the club. Annual club membership costs $50 ($40 if you sign up to race for Richmond with Athletics Victoria). Everyone is welcome to come and see if the club is suitable for you before committing.

Want to come and train?
A beginner/intermediate training group is the best place to start to get an idea as to where you may be best suited. They train on Thursday nights. Meet at 6PM at various place around Melbourne (the Tan etc). The coach is Tony Dell who can be contacted on 03 9722 9145 or by Email
If you are interested in improving as a distance runner, then every Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at 6pm at the club room is the place to start (click for map of club room).
Ask for Neil (long distance) or Moose (sprint/middle distance) upon entering the club room.
There is also a women’s running group that meet at the Tan every Saturday morning at 8AM near the shrine and opposite The Observatory Cafe (click for map)- contact Petrina (by Email or phone 9497 2705) for more details.
Will I be too slow?
This is the most common question we receive. The whole purpose of the club is to provide an environment where you can improve and develop, no matter what stage you are at. You don’t have to be fast, you don’t even have to be fit. Maybe you did a fun run and liked the thought of running regularly with a group, or maybe you want to get that personal best but need a push in the right direction.
Where are we?
The club is based in Citizens Park, located on the corner of Highett and Gleadell St.,Richmond, Melbourne. click for map.
