The Bendigo Bats is the regional cross country and road running team based in Bendigo in Central Victoria.
We want to see athletes in our Bendigo region in Central Victoria running the best they can.
Sure, Bendigo has four Athletics Victoria affiliated clubs – Bendigo Harriers, Bendigo University, Eaglehawk YMCA and South Bendigo – the ‘Bendigo Bats’ has become a unifying banner for competitive running and racing for our men, women and our junior athletes. Our young gun athletes are in their early teens and our elder states-men and states-women are in their 60’s!
