Gold Coast Athletics was incorporated in 2016 to primarily provide a pathway for those athletes who are members of our associated club – Gold Coast Little Athletics. We welcome other local athletes to join in and be a part of a centrally located athletics club at Pizzey Park.

Gold Coast Athletics Club was formed in 1969, and amalgamated with Victory Sports Athletics Club in 2000. Gold Coast Victory has been home to national and international champions such as Sally Pearson, Sharon Jaklofsky, Michael Shelley, Riley Day and Liz Clay. GCV caters for all levels of athletes from 12 years of age and up across all athletics events.

Ignition is dedicated to fuelling opportunities through sharing & building knowledge, exposing & developing natural talent and striving to complement the individual character of the athlete. We aim to achieve this by attracting a diverse range of people who are engaged, passionate and valued, who in turn are committed to the success of our organisation; developing the skills and capabilities or our members through quality education and mentoring programs; fostering the growth of the sport across all athletics disciplines and memberships, by linking with community partners – in particular schools – to build a diverse membership base; blending the pathways between grass root athletics and the elite level, to promote longevity of careers; and nurturing a friendly, supportive, respectful environment, that instils a culture of fairness and sportsmanship.

Qld Racewalking Club is excited to announce that we have opened up our registration portal to members who wish to register with QRWC with a view to representing QRWC at QA meets in the coming year.

Our membership year will now commence in October each year to align with Qld Athletics' (QA) membership year.  This will allow athletes wishing to compete at QA events representing QRWC, to take out a combined QRWC/QA membership in or after October each year.  Once registered, athletes can represent QRWC at the various QA competitions held throughout the year, including the QA Road Walking Championships, QA Shield Meets and Qld Athletics Championships.  Please note that QA offers 3 levels of membership.  More information can be found at https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/site/qqmoo3oyiea1blrd.pdf

Of course, for those athletes not wishing to compete at or represent QRWC at QA events, QRWC will retain the current membership options whereby only the QRWC club fee (ie.  $15 Student/$25 Non-Student) will apply.  This membership can be taken out at any time prior to the start of the QRWC winter season in April 2022.

All QRWC memberships taken out from this point onwards, irrespective of whether a QA membership is also included, will remain valid until September 2022 and will cover the traditional QRWC winter racewalking season.

To register with Runaway Bay Athletics Club please contact Terry Larkins on 07 5537 4903 or Deborah Eales on 0409 726 120. Registration is not accepted through this portal.
