With the 2022-23 Track and Field season almost upon us Knox LAC is pleased to announce that our season will formally start on 10 September 2022.
While this is much earlier than previous seasons, this is to give us to fit in as many weeks of competition as we can get at Knox before the track is redeveloped later in the season and will help reduce the impact on the centre later in the season.
Please Note: There will be further advice on the track redevelopment in the coming weeks.
