Whether you are new to the sport or returning for another season of Athletics action, Capital Athletics offers a range of programs and events for participants of all ages, including:

  • Little Athletics
  • Senior Athletics, including Club Competition, Summer & Winter T & F meets, Cross Country and RunACT.
  • Community Engagement & Participation

Community Engagement & Participation

Capital Athletics delivers several community engagement initiatives throughout the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding region of NSW.
