Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

Knox Little Athletics is pleased to release our 2026–27 Track & Field Season Program, with Programs A, B and C again providing athletes with a broad mix of running, hurdles, race walking, jumps and throws throughout the season.

Across the three programs, athletes will experience a variety of events suited to their age group, including sprints, middle-distance events, hurdles, race walks, long jump, high jump, triple jump, shot put, discus, javelin and vortex.

Important change to Program B

One of the key changes for this season is the scheduling of the long hurdles for our U13–U17 athletes.

On Program B days:

• U15–U17 300m Hurdles will commence at 8:00 am
• U13–U14 200m Hurdles will commence following the 300m hurdles
• These events take the early timeslot previously used for the older-age race walks.
• The U13–U17 1500m Walk will now commence as part of the normal program from 8:30 am. Program 26_27_V1

Athletes competing in the long hurdles will therefore need to arrive early and be ready to compete before 8:00 am on Program B weeks.

Families are encouraged to check the program and competition schedule before each week, particularly on Program B weeks where some athletes will now be competing from 8:00 am.

More information, including the season calendar and weekly program schedule, can be found on the Calendar page of the Knox Little Athletics website.

We’re looking forward to a fantastic 2026–27 season at Knox Little Athletics and seeing everyone back on the track! 💙💛

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us at the Knox Little Athletics Welcome & Tryout Day!

We were thrilled to have one of our largest Tryout Day turnouts, and with fantastic weather on the day, it was wonderful to see so many young athletes and their families come down to the Knox Athletics Track and experience what Little Athletics is all about.

It was great to see so many new and prospective athletes having a go at a range of events, meeting our clubs, coaches and officials, and getting a feel for the friendly and welcoming environment at Knox.

A special thank you to:

• Our returning Knox athletes and families who came down to help welcome new families, show prospective athletes around the Centre and share their experience of Little Athletics.
• All the families and volunteers who helped throughout the morning and assisted with making the day run so smoothly.
• Our Chief Officials, who attended their training session earlier in the morning and then stayed on to help run the events for our Tryout Day.
• Our seven Club Committees, who were on hand to provide information, answer questions and welcome prospective athletes and families to their clubs.
• Everyone behind the scenes who helped prepare the track, equipment and facilities for the day.

Days like this are only possible because of the fantastic support of our volunteers, clubs, athletes and families.
