About

The committee for 2026 are new members and are doing their best to bring you a 2026 season.
We are constantly seeking new members to assist with marketing, monitoring emails and most importantly coaching (who will be paid for their time).

We’re changing the way we look at success!
Whitsunday Athletics is moving away from public leaderboards to focus on what really matters:Personal Bests and Athlete Effort.
Due to past record-keeping issues and our new "effort-first" philosophy, previous records are only available on request via ANQ. 
Let’s celebrate the work put in and celebrate our efforts at Club Day held at the end of Terms.

Thank you for you support
