The Victorian Milers Club was founded in 2005 and runs a series of middle distance meets in Melbourne each year. The club is modelled on the British Milers Club.
The meets are granted National Permit status by Athletics Australia, which allows performances to count towards qualification to competitions, including the World Athletics Rankings. The A & B races have World Athletics permit status.
This is Meet #2 in the series, featuring 800m and 1500m races. There are five meets scheduled for the series:
- Meet #1: 3000m at Lakeside Stadium, 14 November 2024.
- Meet #2: 800m and 1500m at Box Hill, 19 December 2024.
- Meet #3: 800m and 1500m at Sandringham, 21 January 2025.
- Meet #4: 800m and Mile at Moonee Valley, 6 February 2025.
- Meet #5: 800m and 1500m at Doncaster, 13 March 2025.
With races graded by performance and pacemakers organised, over 400 athletes often participate at the events.
