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.

 

Seven Essendon international athletes in 2009. 6 selected for World Championships, Berlin 2009. First four are 2009 Australian Champions - Sarah Jamieson (1500m), Alwyn Jones (triple jump), Joshua Ross, Aaron Rouge-Serret and Anthony Alozie (all 4 x 100 relay) and Chris Erickson (50km walk). Plus Liam Adams 2009 World Cross Country Champs.

  

Essendon won the H H Hunter Shield for best overall performance at Victorian Championships in 2008 and 2009. 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.
