Masters at Cherrybrook<\/span><\/h3>\n

Masters athletics\u00a0<\/strong>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 the Friday night program during the summer season running from September through to the middle of March each year, following the same program as our seniors, as well as\u00a0a winter and summer program prepared by Athletics NSW.\u00a0Masters\u00a0can also compete during the winter Cross Country season from May through to July.<\/p>\n

You don’t have to have been an athlete in your youth to do Masters events; many people take it up in later life,\u00a0to keep fit and have fun, or to try something new.\u00a0 As well as Friday night club sessions, there are many additional opportunities to compete, including\u00a0All Comers events at Homebush,\u00a0State Relays, Masters State Titles or Australian or World Masters Games<\/p>\n
