Victorian Masters Athletics

What is Masters Athletics?

Masters Athletics offers fitness, fun and fellowship across a range of athletic activities for men and women aged 30 and over. Victoria boasts a membership of over a thousand, whilst the total for all Australian state clubs is over 3,500. 

Everyone, from beginner to elite is welcome. Standards and performances are recorded in five-year age groups. Age-graded events are especially popular, encouraging and rewarding improvement and fitness gained through the years.

The philosophy of the Masters movement is PARTICIPATION.
