Cherrybrook Athletics

Masters at Cherrybrook

Masters athletics is for athletes aged 30 and over, and is divided into 5 year age groups (30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, etc). Cherrybrook Masters compete as part of our Friday night program during the summer season running from September through to the middle of March each year, following basically the same programme as our seniors, as well as a winter and summer program prepared by Athletics NSW. Masters can also compete during our winter Cross Country season from May through to July each year.

You don't have to have been an athlete in your youth to do Masters events; many people take it up in later life, to keep fit and have fun, or to try something new. As well as Friday night club sessions, there are many additional opportunities to compete available, including All Comers events at Homebush, State Relays, Masters State Titles or Australian or World Masters Games

NOTE: you also need to be a member of the NSW Masters Association in order to compete in NSW, Australian or World Masters events (ie National or World Championships, run by the Australian Masters Association (AMA) or World Masters Association (WMA),or NSW events run by NSW Masters Association (NSWMA). Details are at their website www.nswmastersathletics.org.au
