ATTENTION ALL ATHLETES:
The Provisional Timetable released on 17.02.2025 has been updated and is now current as at the 19.02.2025. The changes were due to some athletes withdrawing and removing the need for heats & finals and also some event clashes which were inadvertently created when the timetable was updated from the draft. Please note some events now have an earlier start time. Changes have been highlighted ON THE PROVISIONAL TIMETABLE below.
The Victorian Track & Field Championships at Lakeside Stadium will bring together athletes from across the state as they vie for state titles and qualification to the Australian Track & Field Championships.
Events will take place across Friday – Sunday of each week and spanning the two weekends.
Days 1-3 (Weekend 1) will take place from Friday 14th February to Sunday 16th of February – featuring U17-U20 athletes and, for the first time, include our overage athletes aged 40-60+.
Days 4-6 (Weekend 2) will be held on Friday 21st February to Sunday 23rd February for U13-U16 & Open athletes to round out the usual Track and Field championship period.*
*Please Note: U17-U20 5000m Walks will be held on Weekend 2 with the Open 5000m walks to avoid the clash with the Athletics Australia U20 10km Walk being held in Adelaide on the 16th of February
