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.

 

Some of our members, from left to right - Casey Vincent (2004 Olympian),
Sarah Jamieson (Melbourne 2006 Silver - 1500m; 2000/04/08 Olympian), Adam Basil (2004 Olympian), Adrian Mott (2006 Stawell Gift winner), Chris Erickson (Melbourne
2006 Bronze - 50 km walk, 2008 Olympian)

  

The club won the State League Athletics Premiership – Men in 1981, 1982, 1985, 1996, 1998 and 1999. Athletics Essendon consistently remains one of the state’s leading clubs. Essendon is probably the only club in Australia who has had representatives at the last 13 Olympics and the last 13 Commonwealth Games. 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.

The club trains at Moonee Valley Athletic Track, Corio Street, Moonee Ponds.
