35 and over?


Congratulations, you are now a Masters Athlete. And there's more! You can keep competing well into your 90's!!!
Lets be honest, if you are 35 and competing in Masters there is more than a whiff of try hard about you. Go and play with the Open athletes until you are 40 and then come strut your stuff!
However, if you insist, come along cos 50+ athletes just love putting it over 35+ athletes when they can. And let me tell you, there are some 60+ athletes who kick my rear at running!

The Queensland Masters Athletics crowd are a friendly bunch. There is an average of one meet per week, catering for people of all ages and all disciplines. You may be a bit of a sturdier build, in which case swinging a hammer around your head and letting it go with an ox like bellow may be the thing for you. Doing the high jump may be your thing, although I'm always up for the high jump with my missus! [no matter how hard I try to be funny it jsut doesn't work does it?!]

If you are a regular runner or walker QMA provides valuable competition experience on a regular basis. If you are trying to get quicker there's nothing quite like racing to sharpen you.
The new season starts in September, with most meets on Saturday's, some on Mondays and some on Fridays.
Another attraction in November is the Pan Pacific Masters on the Gold Coast.
