The start of the summer athletics season is almost upon us, and clubs all around the country are looking for tamariki and rangatahi to get involved and give athletics a go.

Our local South Canterbury Amateur Athletics Club is run by volunteers, and they are working hard to get ready for the new season.

Want to learn how to run, jump or throw? The skills you learn in athletics are the perfect foundation for almost any sport.

Every student can give athletics a go. Our local athletics club is welcoming new members now and we encourage students to get involved and get active.

The South Canterbury Amateur Athletic Club was formed in 1871 and is the oldest Athletics Club in New Zealand and are based at the Trust Aoraki All Weather Track, nestled among the Aorangi Park complex on Morgans Road in Timaru.
