Organizations in Melbourne

AM:PM.RC started in Melbourne in December 2014 when Nicholas, Elizabeth, Dan, and Ben decided to build a crew worth showing up for, twice a week, every week. Nearly a decade on, around thirty members from all backgrounds, indigenous, immigrant, local, and travelling, gather under their motto, Strength to Strength. The philosophy is straightforward: individual progress and collective growth are the same thing. Show up, contribute, support, and the whole crew moves forward together. Art, music, and photography thread through the community alongside the running. Tuesday evenings find them at the iconic Tan Track, Thursday mornings at Princes Park. Two routes, two moods, one crew that has been turning up since 2014.

Hunter Athletics and Recreation was born in Melbourne in October 2017 from a simple belief: running is better together. No sign-up forms, no membership fees, just shoes and a willingness to show up. Around 100 runners strong, this crew draws people from all walks of life, united by a philosophy that effort matters more than pace. Built on mutuality, acceptance, and the honest pursuit of progress, Hunter Athletics and Recreation creates an atmosphere competitive enough to push you and relaxed enough to make you stay. Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Olympic Park are where it starts, 6am, with track work and threshold sessions that fuel everything else.
