The University of Queensland Triathlon & Adventure Racing Club is thrilled to promote the UQ Sport Winter/Spring Meet Series, an exciting annual sequence of athletics events held at the UQ Sport Athletics Centre. Open to athletes of all levels aged 10 and over, this series is a great opportunity for both seasoned competitors and those looking to dip their toes into the world of athletics.
One of the reasons the Meet Series is so popular is its appeal to school-age participants. Many competitors use these events as a valuable opportunity to prepare for district, regional, and state-level competitions. It's a chance to showcase their skills and strive for personal bests alongside like-minded individuals.
Now, before you jump into the race, please note that all competitors must be registered with Queensland Athletics for insurance purposes. But fear not! If you haven't registered yet, you can still enter as a Base Member for just $12. We want to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and enjoy the thrill of the races.
Speaking of races, the UQ Sport Winter/Spring Meet Series 1500m Classic at the UQ Sport Athletics Centre is just around the corner. Although the proposed dates are yet to be announced, we highly recommend keeping an eye out for updates. To secure your spot in this exciting event, participants must submit their entries online via the UQ Sport or Queensland Athletics websites. We kindly request all entries to be submitted by 9am on the Friday preceding the meet. It's important to let us know which events you wish to compete in, so make sure to nominate your choices during the registration process.
There's no need to worry about age restrictions. As long as you've turned 10 by December 31, 2021, you're eligible to join in on the fun. And trust us, you'll want to be a part of it! The Winter/Spring Meets offer a variety of events, and athletes are welcome to compete in as many as they'd like. After all, who can resist the thrill of taking on multiple challenges and pushing your limits?
To help cover the costs of organising such an incredible series, there is an entry fee of $20 per competitor. We believe this fee is well worth the amazing experience and memories you'll create during the UQ Sport Winter/Spring Meet Series. It's an investment in yourself and your passion for athletics.
