-
In 1891, members of the Ballarat Gymnasium Association would occasionally increase their fitness with a bit of cross country running. In May of that year, the Melbourne Harriers Club visited Ballarat by train, with a view to helping a harriers club form in Ballarat. They were hosted by the Ballarat gymnasts, and conducted a joint paperchase around the town's precincts. It ended with a run-home race and entertainment at Lester's hotel. A decision was made that day to form a club and three weeks later, on 15th May, 1891, the Ballarat gymnasts met and formed the Ballarat Harriers Club, with John Duthie being the first president and all other office bearers being elected that night.
