Volunteers are warmly welcomed for a number of roles. These include assisting with guiding athletes with vision impairment to run and/or walk, looking after guide dogs and running/walking with athletes at events. We try our best to match your pace to someone similar to you. However, you must be prepared to slow down to a walking pace for our athletes who are starting to build up their fitness or are walking only. Volunteers can also offer to act as a guide outside weekly Sunday training sessions and/or assist with transport to/from training and events.

Achilles Melbourne welcomes anyone of any ability. Whether you have mobility issues or injuries that prevent you from running or you can run a marathon in record time, we welcome you to our club.

We train every Sunday morning at 8:30am, Janet Lady Clarke Rotunda at the Tan running track, 200m east of the corner of Linlithgow Ave and St Kilda Rds.  We also train each Wednesday night for a strength cross-training session. Please see our training page for details. We meet rain, hail or shine…so be prepared for anything!
