Queenstown Athletics

Discover Queenstown Athletics

Members of Queenstown Athletics enjoy a dynamic sports club focused on athletics, particularly as a junior athletics club and harriers group dedicated to running and walking. The program adapts with seasons to suit all ages, providing inclusive opportunities for participants to develop skills in a supportive setting. Junior athletes train during summer months at the Queenstown Event Centre on Tuesdays from 4pm to 5.30pm. In term 2, X-country training occurs on Mondays from 4pm to 5pm at the same venue beside the hockey turf—this session requires separate registration via the club secretary and is not part of the yearly fee. The senior harriers squad, welcoming high school athletes aged 14 to 19 years, trains consistently on Tuesdays at the Queenstown Event Centre throughout the year under coach Neville Britton, with members attending races and meets across the country.
