The AU Athletics Club is a diverse social and competitive group filled with fun and friendly runners of all abilities. We have group training available 6 days a week catering for all your needs. Whether you are trying to run your first 5k to competing at the World Uni Champs, the AUAC has got you covered.

We compete at major events such as the City to Bay, Adelaide Marathon Festival, Relay for Life and Aus Uni Games. We also organise awesome specialty events such as Pub Runs, beach runs, club dinners and more!

Feel free to come and try before signing up, just let us know via emails or socials beforehand so we can be on the lookout.
