Registering ensures you're kept up to date with club news, events, competitions, and everything happening this summer.
🎟️ First Club Night
Unfortunately, due to a venue double-booking (and perhaps a lucky escape from the weather!), the Hutt Recreation Ground is unavailable tomorrow.
That means our first club night will now be Wednesday 21 October.
This is our first club night of the season and we'd love to see as many athletes, families, and newcomers there as possible. Whether you're returning for another season or giving athletics a go for the very first time, come along and join the fun!
🤩 First Development Squad training
Junior development squad training starts this Friday! 3:30pm for 7-11's, 4:30pm for 12+. Meet at sprint track.
🏃♀️ Senior athletes on form!
A huge congratulations to our senior athletes who competed on Saturday and got the season underway in style.
The next Athletics Wellington Senior Open Meet is this Saturday at Newtown Park.
