Queensland Track Classic
27th March 2021
QSAC, Brisbane

World Athletics, Oceania Athletics, Athletics Australia and Queensland Athletics are very pleased to announce that the 2021 edition of the Queensland Track Classic, 27 March 2021, will join the World Athletics Continental Tour as a Silver level permit meet.

As one of around a dozen Silver level meets on the World Athletics Continental Tour, and the first of the series, the Queensland Track Classic is the premier one day competition in Australia, and we aim to provide the best all round experience possible for those in attendance.

Another exciting aspect of the Silver level permit is the significant prize money on offer to the athletes on the day. Participation in the Continental Tour, at the Silver level, grants athletes the opportunity to gain valuable “B” level points, as they strive towards the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.

***Nominating for this event does not guarantee selection***

Please be advised, as per World Athletics regulations, we are limited to the amount of events that can be awarded Silver permit status.  The final decision on the status of each event will be made once entries are closed. This will be based upon the strength of the field* and the size of the field**. This will be made in consultation between the QLD Track Classic organising committee, Athletics Australia High Performance department and Oceania Athletics Competition department. All events at the QTC that are not given a Silver permit will receive Area Permit status and "D" level points.

* A minimum of 3 Athletes from the Top 100 (counting a maximum of 3 per country) of the World Athletics World Rankings (in the month prior to the Meeting) to participate in each of at least 12 international events.

** There shall be a minimum of 6 Athletes in any one event
