Summer Competition in Brisbane and Gold Coast

Track and field competition for 2025-26 is up and running!

Check the Brisbane Calendar and Gold Coast Calendar for details and entry links when available.

VOLUNTEERS - we need more! To share the responsibility around, we are seeking to roster several people for each key task. This will mean that volunteers only need to commit to one morning every few weeks. Athletes, family or friends - we encourage you to put your hand up to help with these and other roles: Photo Finish; Meet Manager; Field Event Setup; Entries Officer. Please contact the QMA Secretary if you are able to help out

Uniform orders for the 2026 National Championships have closed.

Group Training Options

Gorillas in the mist? No - QMA training groups at QSAC!

Volunteering at the Track

We see them every week - the dedicated handful of volunteers who ensure we have well run track and field masters competitions, in all weathers. We salute you!

But they can't do it alone (or forever) - every competitor (or friend) is urged to put up their hand to help with an event or competition when they can. Volunteers are particularly needed on days when Championship events are on the program.

For Brisbane, there will be volunteer sheets at each competition where you can sign up for following weeks, or email brisvolunteers@qldmastersathletics.org.au

Safety at the Track

A reminder to all track and field competitors that the safety of yourself and others is paramount.

What does this mean in practice? Be aware of your surroundings at all times. Before crossing the track always check if there is an event in progress. Never cross the infield when a competition is on, walk around the outside of the track to get where you're going. Ensure small children are supervised at all times.

Stay Safe - protect yourself and others.

It's You Against The World!

Not really - but who doesn't have a sneaky desire to see how they stand against others in their country, region or globally. Well you can - all members of Australian Master Athletics affiliated state organizations (including QMA) have access to the World Masters Rankings site.
