First contested in the Club's inaugural year, 1926.  The 5-mile Championships has become the anticipated annual event of the winter calendar.

Each year history is made with the winner receiving the coverted blue ribbon sash, along with being immortalised on the honor boards in the club rooms.

Past winners have been great athletes of the Victorian and Australian athletic community.

Do you have what it takes to be the Club Champion for 2025, the last 5-mile championships for the century?

Entries are open to all, with only current members being eligible to be club champion.

Registration for the event is made through the grey register button.

After the race everyone is invited back to the Ray Coverdale Pavilion (club rooms) to trade stories of conquest, meet past winners in the parade of champions, and afternoon refreshments.
