Track and Field

The Bendigo YMCA Harriers compete in the Athletics Bendigo Track and Field Competition each Saturday between October and March.

Competition is run at the Flora Hill Track in Retreat Road from 1.30pm with other clubs in the Bendigo Region. Distance races are also held on a Tuesday evening.

Competition is arranged around ability so you are always competing against athletes of a similar standard. It is an environment of encouragement and observing club mates improve gives everyone a lot of satisfaction.

The events conducted revolve around most of the distances and field events that you would see at the Olympic Games. Therefore if you don't like running but see yourself wanting to throw a discus, shot put or javelin there is no demand to have to run. Vice versa if you are plodder like this website editor you do not turn up to compete in the sprints.
