If you competed last season and arrive at the track on Saturday without having registered by the deadline on Wednesday night you will not be able to participate. Please register online with Little Athletics Victoria to avoid disappointment. This rule is being applied for all centres across Victoria.

New athletes who have registered online can collect registration bags and competition patches from your club.

New athletes who have not registered online will receive a temporary patch from the Knox registration tent.

The Knox Registration tent is available from 8am, for clubs to collect patches and registration bags and for new members to obtain a temporary patch.

Patches and show bags

Athletes who have completed their registration (including payment) can collect their patch and show bag from their club from 8am on Saturday morning.

To ensure your patch and show bag is ready, please register and pay online by 6pm this Wednesday 21 September.
