VIC Athletics Club
VIC Athletics Club
A great place to meet like minded athletes – with a want to get fit and have fun – and train, and if you wish, compete, in a range of track and field events, cross country and road racing.
The club caters for all age groups – with the majority of the club in the 11 to 17 year old age bracket.
We offer training up to 3 times per week with some of the best coaches in Victoria, in a friendly inviting atmosphere.
Club training is conducted at Caulfield Park on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 6pm -7pm and at Duncan Mackinnon Athletics track on Sundays from 4pm-5pm – with additional training options for those athletes requesting specific, one on one, training sessions.
We have a number of club athletes that are State and National level, and 7 of our club members are off in July 2022 to represent Maccabi Australia at the Maccabiah Games in track and field and road races.
We train year round – Maccabi is part of the Athletics Victoria – which conducts competition in track and field between the months of October to March. Competition age groups, for female and males athletes, range from under 14, 16, 18, 20 to Open and Masters.
Events include 100m 200m 400m 800m,1500m, 3K and 5K, hurdles and steeplechase, long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, discus, javelin and hammer throw and relay events.
In the winter months we compete in the cross country series – from April through to September. Same age groups with various races through parks, recreation venues and roads (Albert Park, Sandown race course, The Tan, Jells Park, Richmond Boulevard etc.).
