Among the many highlights were a record number of Harriers registered with Athletics Victoria and many superb feats at Australian and Victorian championships.
Club president Geoff Jordan said many club, centre and Bendigo records were broken in track and field events at the Latrobe University Bendigo athletics complex in Flora Hill and at venues around the country.
Bendigo Harriers capitalised on home-track advantage to be the number one men's team and overall champion club at the Victoria Country titles in January.
Club coaches, volunteers, parents, supporters and athletes were all recognised throughout presentation day at Bendigo Stadium.
"It's been a great team effort on and off the track," Jordan said.
For many in the Harriers the focus now switches to the Bendigo Bank Dragon Mile run before the gala parade in the heart of Bendigo on Easter Sunday.
The Harriers' .cross-country season starts on April 11 at Crook Street Park in Strathdale.
