What We Do

Masters Athletics represent fitness, fun and fellowship across a range of athletic activities for men and women aged 30 and over. The club boasts a membership of over 300. Everyone, from beginner to elite is welcome. Standards and performances are recorded in five year age groups. Everyone participates in heats or groups at their own standard. Handicap events are especially popular, encouraging and rewarding improvement and fitness gained through the year. The philosophy of the Masters movement is PARTICIPATION.
