The first general meeting of the club was held at the Public Hall in Coburg on Monday, 30 March 1896.[2] The club affiliated with the Victorian Amateur Athletics Association (VAAA) on 13 May 1896. The first official uniform was all white, with royal blue facings and a royal blue capital C on the front. The club was located in a shed at the rear of the Corner Hotel, on the corner of Bell Street and Sydney Road, Coburg. The first competitive event that Coburg Harriers participated in was on 20 September 1896 in the Victorian 10 mile Cross Country Championship where the Club finished 11th.[3] The first representative at a National Championships was by T. Lobse who competed in the 100 yards handicap race held at the Sydney Cricket Ground in October 1897. Lobse won the third heat running off 9 yards in a time of 10.2 seconds. He eventually finished 4th in the first semi final.[4] VenuesIn 1955, with the assistance of Coburg City Council, Harriers procured a cinder track at McDonald reserve in Coburg, one of only a few in Victoria at the time, costing £150. It was a major upgrade for the club at the time.[5] CurrentIt is currently affiliated with Athletics Victoria (AV)[6] and competes in winter cross country competition and in summer, in the AV North West region track and field competition.
