2022/2023 Season Info

This season we are allowing Mt Gravatt Little Athletics Centre to use our field for their Centre Competition, as they are unable to use their home ground. Their season runs July to December, where ours (and all other South East Queensland Clubs) runs August to March 2023. When we start in August we will all join in together on Saturday afternoons but all of the results will be separate and only count within the individual clubs.

We are excited about this opportunity where our athletes will have fun competing with Mt Gravatt athletes and making new friends at the same time.
