NSW Masters Athletics Inc. is a sports club based in Sydney, Australia, catering to male and female athletes aged 30 and over who reside in New South Wales. As the State Association for Masters athletes and an affiliated Club with Athletics NSW, NSW Masters Athletics promotes, encourages, and hosts events specifically tailored for individuals in these age groups.
