Welcome to Athletics Essendon Inc.

Athletics Essendon has grown from the merger of athletic clubs from the early days of athletics. These clubs were East Melbourne Harriers (EMH) established in 1895, Essendon Harriers established 1897 and Essendon/Aberfeldie established 1959.

 

DURING 2009 and 2010, fourteen Essendon athletes have either been selected for international competition or won a Victorian or Australian Open Title. They are;
Top row: Liam Adams, Anthony Alozie, Matthew Blair, Andrew Boudrie, Amanda Crook, Chris Erickson, Michelle Errichiello.
Second row: Sarah Jamieson, Alwyn Jones, Daniel Martin, Meggan O'Riley, Johnny Rayner, Josh Ross, Aaron Rouge-Serret.

  

Essendon won the H H Hunter Shield for best overall performance at Victorian Championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Athletics Essendon is probably the only club in Australia who has had representatives at the last 12 Olympics and the last 12 Commonwealth Games. Plaques for 17 Olympians are erected on a wall at Moonee Valley Athletic Centre. Click here to read our history.

The club provides its member with a track, gymnasium, coaches, competition and social events. To compete, athletes have to be registered and wear the uniform available for purchase at the club. Please visit the join page to join our club, and to read about Bill Burke Scholarships.
