Saxton Meets

Athletics Tasman hosts Saxton Meets (formerly ‘Senior Meets”) throughout the season at the Saxton Athletics Track, providing athletes with additional opportunities to compete between our Classic Meets, Athletics NZ events, and Children’s Interclubs. The meets are held on Saturday mornings from 10-12pm. With alternating A and B programmes, the meets are concise and offer a variety of competition opportunities for athletes of all levels.

These meets are open to those aged 10+. Non-club members can attend the first two meets before joining a club. All events are competed as mixed male/female, and mixed age groups.  This is a great development opportunity for our keen older children to compete with a supportive bunch of athletes, of all ages & levels.  Please check out the Athletics Tasman website for dates, programme & entry details www.athleticstasman.co.nz
