Run club in Melbourne
Glenhuntly Athletic Club is an athletics club in Murrumbeena, Melbourne, founded in 1921 and affiliated with Athletics Victoria. It competes in summer track and field and in winter cross country and road racing, and is described as one of Australia's largest cross-country and road-running clubs. Members aged 12 and above through to Masters 80+ train in coached squads at Duncan Mackinnon Athletic Track, with distance options covering middle distance, long distance and cross country.
Running training is organised through coached squads rather than open club runs. Distance-focused squads include Bell Lap Running Squad (middle and long distance, high-performance focus with individual periodised programs), Run Revive Squad (middle distance, long distance and cross country, for first 5k or marathon runners through to national and international competitors), Momentum Running (middle distance, no experience needed but 4-6 sessions a week expected, for athletes 14+), CS Track Squad and the Cater and Kelly squads (sprints and middle distance). Several squads charge training fees in addition to club membership. The club has shared access to Duncan Mackinnon Athletics Track and you must be a member of Glenhuntly Athletic Club or another tenant club to train there during these booked times. All coaches are registered and accredited with Athletics Australia. The club also runs a National Competition Bursary Program (about $5,000 a year in bursaries of around $200) and an International Competition Scholarship Program (up to $5,000 a year, awards of around $1,000). To join, use the membership and "connect with a coach" forms on the club website, where contact details are also listed. Athletics Victoria athletics club.
