Gippsland Athletics club was founded in 1955. Our aim is to promote, encourage and improve athletic competition in the Gippsland Region. We offer a relaxed and friendly environment for individuals and families and encourage participation from all ages and abilities. Athletes compete in age groups from U14 up to Masters. Regular track and field competition is held from October to March on Tuesday evenings starting at 6.00pm at the Joe Carmody Athletics Track in Newborough.
2025-26 TRACK SEASON - We're up and running in 2025.
The summer track season is well underway and will continue most Tuesdays (6pm) from early October to late February.
We are a small but friendly club and welcome and encourage people of all abilities to come and give athletics a try.
We cater for athletes from 11 years of age up to masters athletes of any age, with age groups from U/14 to Masters (40+).
First time athletes are welcome for a two week trial and should aim to be at the track before 6pm. Returning athletes should be registered with Athletics Victoria prior to competing.

The Victorian Country Championships were held in Albury over the Australia Day long weekend.
We had 7 athletes and a host of family and supporters in attendance. Again the club punched well above it's weight, bringing home 20 medals in total. All of the athletes gave it 110% and while that might not have been enough to medal, or acheive what we expected of ourselves, we gave it our best in some trying conditions.
The weather was the hottest we've seen at a country champs in recent history, with daily temperatures in and around 40 degrees on all three days, making it more difficult to consistently perform at your best.
Team highlights, Brooklynn Wyatt 3 Silver, 1 Bronze. Liam McCandless 1 Silver. Zaria Dalton 1 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze. Brandy Forget 2 Silver. Stuart Dalton 1 Gold, 1 Silver, 2 Bronze. Simon Van Baalen 3 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze. Zaria had some excellent runs, setting PB's in 100m, 200m and 400m and managed to achieve a number of National Championship qualifying times along the way.
On behalf of the club once again I'd like to thanks all of the club members and families for helping out with the clubs helper duties over the three days. Without these helpers the Championship Event would really struggle to go ahead. I'd like to thank Brandy for her help with the rostering of the helpers and staying on top of all of the athlete's events and timetables, it was a great help.
For the 6th time this season Brooklynn Wyatt has bettered the hammer record and Zaria Dalton destroyed the 30 year old 100m Womens Open record.

The annual Vern Curnow Pentathlon washeld on Tuesday 9th of December 2025.
We had some excellent performances on the night, and a couple of really close contests.
We had 12 athletes competing, with nearly all from Gippsland Athletics Club, so Gippsland Athletics were the club winners on the night.
Full results can be found in the results section. There were 3 records broken, with Zaria Dalton breaking the U/16 Women's long jump and Sarah Lewis breaking the Masters Womens Long Jump and Pentathlon records.
This marked a somewhat sad occasion as Sarah's excellent performance in the long jump removed Life Member (dec) Heather Daldry's last remaining record from the record books. I'm sure Heather would have been happy to see her records beaten by such great athletes.
