RUN. JUMP. THROW.
There are four athletics clubs in the Bendigo area: Bendigo Harriers Athletics Club, Bendigo University Athletics Club, Eaglehawk Athletics Club and South Bendigo Athletics Club.
Whilst each club is unique and have different strengths and areas of focus, all of them will make new members welcome and encourage existing members to get the most out of their skills and abilities.
These clubs participate in events on the track, on the road, cross country races in the bush, plus jumping and throwing events ‘in the field’.
