Melbourne University Athletic Club

Melbourne University Athletics Club (MUAC) is a track and field, road and cross country club founded in 1873, based at the Rawlinson Track on the northern edge of the University of Melbourne campus in Parkville. It is open to students, University staff, alumni and the wider community, with members aged from 15 to over 70 and no University affiliation required. Training is organised into coached squads, including a Development Squad for distance runners, an advanced middle/long distance squad and the Parkville Project, alongside sprints, hurdles, jumps and pole vault groups.

General club training runs 17:00-20:00 Monday to Thursday and 09:00-13:00 on Saturday and Sunday, with each squad setting its own schedule and entry requirements listed on the individual squad training pages. Distance running options include the Development Squad (open to recreational runners), an advanced middle/long distance squad and the Parkville Project; coaching is also offered for sprints, jumps and pole vault, and members may compete for MUAC while being coached elsewhere. Facilities include a 400m track plus nearby parkland for cross country training, and University gym and pool access. Membership for 2026/27 is either competing (base membership including the Athletics Victoria component: $255 UoM student, $275 non-UoM student, $225 UoM international exchange student, $335 non-student, with junior rates from $195) or non-competing Development Squad membership ($92.50 for students, $220 for non-students); optional add-on packages cover entry to the 10-round cross country/road (XCR) series, the 10-round Athletics Victoria Shield League summer series, or both.
