Nowra Athletics Club began in 1960
The Club offers athletics to people of all ages and ability within the Shoalhaven. We are a proud family club, encouraging participation at all stages of life. We cater for beginners and athletes with Olympian aspirations alike and boast athletes and coaches from all athletics disciplines, as well as providing programs for people who are simply interested in maintaining their fitness and who do not have a desire to participate in competitive events.
The Club offers a variety of athletic programs throughout the year including Track & Field, Road Running and Cross Country.
TRACK AND FIELD COMPETITION
Since 1960 Nowra Athletics Club has been offering Track and Field competition for athletes of all ages – tiny tots to master’s athletes – and all abilities. It’s a perfect way to spend time with the family whilst participating in friendly athletic competition. If you enjoy jumping, throwing and running, we have it all.
Track and Field is conducted each Wednesday night, September – March at Shoalhaven High School from 6pm.
SUMMER ROAD RUNS
Our Summer Road Runs are a great way to spend an evening enjoying a social run or walk, over approximately 6kms.
Summer Runs are conducted on Friday evenings during Summer at various locations around the Shoalhaven.
CROSS COUNTRY COMPETITION
Cross Country competition is conducted during Autumn/Winter on Saturday afternoons at various venues around the Shoalhaven, catering for all ages and abilities, with handicap start times. A variety of distances are offered – 1km, 2km, 3km, 5km, 10km.
Many club runners meet informally for weekly runs. If you are interested in joining a run, just ask a committee member for details.
Nowra Athletics Club actively encourages and supports athletes to participate in individual and team events, outside of Club events.
Nowra Athletics Club was Accredited in the Good Sports Program on the 15th May 2008.
