Athletics - Track & Field | Pan Pacific Masters Games

The prediction for Friday and Saturday is for temperatures of 35 + and high humidity.

This requires Queensland Athletics to take reasonable steps to ensure officials and athletes are safe.

Thus we will be making some changes to the time of some long events and to rules around field attempts.

The 5000m Walk scheduled for 3.50pm ( Men) and 4.25 (Women) on Friday will be moved to Saturday and combined with the 3000m Walk, all athletes that entered both will be given times for both 3000m and 5000m.

To ensure that the technical officials have some breaks out of the heat and sun during a very heavy schedule, all field events will have 3 attempts with the exception of any event that has more than 8 competitors in one single age group. When there are more than 8 competitors in any one age group there will be 3 attempts for all athletes with a 4th attempt for the final 8.

Venue Change: No longer be held at the Gold Coast Performance Centre, Runaway Bay (as at 6 June, 2024). See Venue section on website for more details.
