On Saturday the 17th May 2008, a meeting was held at the University of the Sunshine Coast for the purpose of forming a master’s athletics club. Sixteen interested athletes attended the meeting and a committee was elected to facilitate the process of establishing an operational club.
Our 1st track meet was held on Saturday 19th July 2008 at the University track in which we had 14 athletes turn out for a fun filled afternoon.
Membership for Masters starts at the ripe old age of 30.
We hold our track meets throughout the year on the tartan track at the University in Sippy Downs. During the spring and summer months we tend to have track meets approximately every 2 weeks.
For any one that is interested in getting involved or just wants to come out and have a run please contact Ken on 5478-8145 or email us through the Contacts Page
At Masters we have many athletes that are there just for the fun and comraderie that goes with athletics and there are those that also take the opportunity to compete all over Australia depending on how serious you want to make it.
We have athletes aged from 30years old to a young and sprite 83years of age. So as you can see age doesn’t matter.
Just get out there and have a go.
