About Collingwood Harriers
| |
Collingwood Harriers caters for athletes of all ages and standards. We can
give you the opportunity to compete at the highest level
in both summer and winter fixtures run by Athletics
Victoria as well as providing club events in which
friends and family are welcome to participate by
invitation.
We are currently the most successful
cross-country club in Australia having fielded teams in
13 divisions during the 2007 season, including at the 40+
and 50+ levels.
Our summer track and field teams compete in the
Eastern Region which boasts the largest number of
competitors in any summer competition in Australia. All
events are catered for and elite athletes have the
opportunity to progress to State and National
competitions. Our current athletes include both
Victorian and Australian champions and other medallists.
We also lay claim to a few former Olympians and World
Championship representatives who can provide expert
advice and encouragement or simply allow you the
opportunity to live vicariously through their
achievements.
Collingwood is a great family club. A large number of
families have fielded members over two or three
generations. Indeed, it is not unusual to see parents
and their children competing alongside each other.
Our fees are among the cheapest of metropolitan clubs
as only a small surcharge is added to the A.V.
registration component.
We have a hard-working committee composed of
competing athletes, officials and other long-standing
members whose competition days are in the past but who
value the camaraderie that belonging to Collingwood
Harriers provides. Whether you want to compete for glory
or simply run for fun and fitness, Collingwood Harriers
can help you get started in a friendly and supportive
environment.
