The Victorian Country Athletics Championships is a celebration of athletics, offering events in all age groups from U14 up to 60+. Both Metro and Country athletes can compete and enjoy the festivities that the Victorian country regions have to offer.

ONLINE CHECK IN – IMPORTANT

As a lead up to the upcoming State Championships, it is a requirement of the 2024 Country Championships that all athletes check in via the online check in system. This will be for both track and field athletes. Please read the updated Technical Regulations carefully for more information. Online check in instructions can be found via the link below. More information will be provided via email to all participants, and AV technical staff will be onsite to provide assistance in the event of technical difficulty.

Please Note: Metro Club Athletes will be Invitational Athletes at the Country Championships and will be awarded invitational medals across the Championships.

Club Helpers:

Clubs with participating members will be required to provide volunteer helpers for this event. Duties will be allocated and communicated to clubs once entries close.
