From your track to the world
Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Sunshine Coast, North Queensland, Brisbane
We have active regions on the Gold Coast, and in Toowoomba and Brisbane. The Sunshine Coast doesn't currently have an active QMA region but our vice president David Reed can be contacted by interested athletes for more information, and masters athletes are welcome to compete in many University of the Sunshine Coast Athletics Club meets at Sippy Downs. by The North Queensland Region works closely with Athletics North Queensland. QMA is keen to add more regions in the future to meet strong local demand.
