Vale Ken Hall

Athletics Essendon is saddened to acknowledge the passing of Ken Hall, a Life Member, former Club President, outstanding competitor and respected coach (pictured in bib 1, behind John Walker).

Ken was one of Australia’s leading middle-distance runners of the 1970s and continued to make an enormous contribution to the sport as a coach and mentor.

He will be remembered for his achievements, humility, quiet determination and deep love of athletics.

We extend our sincere condolences to Ken’s family, friends, former teammates, athletes and all who knew him.

Vale Ken Hall.

A detailed tribute by Len Johnson is available via Runners Tribe.

A reminder that to train at the track during exclusive AE training times, you must be registered as a member! We have 5 membership options, with a new addition of the associate membership, which is for athletes training at the track who do not wish to compete (does not include gym use).
With the upcoming XCR season and Jells Park around the corner, it’s a good idea to register ASAP!
