Armidale Little Athletics Centre Inc is a sports club located in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. The club provides opportunities for children and adults to participate in track and field events and promotes a “run for fun” atmosphere.
The club was formed by the merger of Armidale Little Athletics and the senior Armidale Athletic Club, creating a stronger organisation to support and conduct various events and competitions for the athletic community in Armidale.
For track and field athletes, the club organises weekly Wednesday track and field meets from October to March, as well as Development Days. This allows athletes to compete and improve their performance in a supportive and friendly environment.
During the months of April to September, the club also holds weekly Wednesday Cross Country meets at Moran Oval, catering to cross country and recreational runners. This provides an opportunity for individuals of all ages to engage in running activities and enjoy the beauty of Armidale's outdoor spaces.
Armidale Athletics Club welcomes participants from a wide range of age groups, starting from the under 4 category and going up to veterans. The club offers different membership options, including local club membership and full Athletics NSW and/or Little Athletics NSW membership.
The primary focus of the club is to encourage athletes to enjoy their experience and strive for personal improvement. The club also aims to provide opportunities for athletes to compete at various levels, including Zone, Regional, State, and even National and International events.
Armidale Athletics Club is proud to support other local initiatives, such as Armidale parkrun held every Saturday morning at Sport UNE and the Duval Dam Buster, an annual event at Dumaresq Dam/Mount Duval.
The club's website provides ongoing information about upcoming meets, registration details, rules of conduct, results, and contact information. The committee of Armidale Athletics Club wishes everyone a rewarding and enjoyable year of athletics and looks forward to welcoming new participants to their inclusive and supportive community.
