Get Involved with Athletics today!
Athletics NZ events are where New Zealand athletics comes to life. Every event we hold could be the start of a new career for someone in high performance sport, an opportunity to get a new Personal Best, or a chance to qualify for an international competition.
Whether you're an aspiring athlete looking to compete, a dedicated coach guiding the next generation, an official ensuring fair play, or a volunteer eager to contribute, your role is vital to the success of every athletics event we hold. Our local athletics competitions are not just about the race to the finish line; they are about community, commitment, health and wellbeing and the collective passion of everyone that comes along to compete, support or help, drives us all forward.
Athletes are the lifeblood of our events, bringing energy, determination, and a competitive spirit that inspires everyone involved. But behind every successful athlete is a network of coaches, support crews, and volunteers, each playing a crucial role in making the competition a memorable experience.
Coaches provide the expertise and encouragement athletes need to reach their full potential, while support crews ensure that every competitor is prepared and cared for, both mentally and physically. Officials, on the other hand, maintain the integrity of the sport, ensuring that every event runs smoothly and fairly.
Volunteers are the unsung heroes of athletics, dedicating their time and effort to help bring these events to life. From setting up the course, managing registrations or being course marshalls, their contributions make it possible for athletes and fans alike to enjoy the thrill of event competition.
By getting involved, you're not just participating in an event; you're becoming part of a vibrant sporting community that celebrates the spirit of athletics in New Zealand. Join us in creating unforgettable experiences, whether on the track, in the stands, or behind the scenes.
