About MUAC
Who are we?
With a proud history dating back to 1873, Melbourne University Athletics Club is one of the oldest sporting clubs in Australia. Over the years, MUAC has been the home club for many famous athletes including Olympic and Commonwealth Games and world championships champions, medallists and competitors.
Where are we?
One of the strongest athletics clubs in Australia, MUAC remains the athletics club of choice for current and past Melbourne University students, staff and friends. Its traditional home, the Rawlinson Track, sits proudly in the beautiful environs of the northern edge of the Melbourne University campus, adjacent to the famous cricket field and surrounded by the halls of residence.
Melbourne University Athletics Club acknowledges that we train and compete, and the Rawlinson Track sits, on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation who have been and are the custodians of the land. We pay respects to their Elders past and present.
How are we?
We are an athletics club by athletes, for athletes, run (in both senses) by a committee of volunteers with a passion for track and field, road and cross country. Our efforts are aided by the invaluable contributions of our members who show up to events as both athletes and club helpers.
MUAC members enjoy the expert training advice of fully qualified coaches amidst leading edge on-campus facilities. And while national and international standard athletes continue to forge ongoing success for the Club, we pride ourselves on welcoming runners, throwers, jumpers and walkers of all standards, ages and abilities.
What about training?
Here at Melbourne University Athletics Club (MUAC), our goal is to empower you to become the best athlete you can be. Everyone has different goals, and we have the training squads to help you reach yours.
Our Partners
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of the land on which MUAC's base track Rawlinson Track resides. MUAC also acknowledges that our impact extends past Wurundjeri Country, with our athletes frequently training and competing on First Nations' Lands throughout the Kulin Nation, as well as across Australia and the Torres Strait Islands. We pay our respects to all Elders past and present.
